Cynthia..may i know how is the course of pharmacy?is it like physics and maths which require a lot of twist and turn ...or like biology requires a lot of memorising work? How to ensure we can score?and what is the main reason the students will fail?Is it because they lazy to memorize or they r not good in twist and turn the knowledge? I can be very hardworking..i m juz afraid that the success depends on talent ..which means even i am hardworking..but i cannot be guaranteed to score juz because i am not smart enough to turn like in maths and physics..can u pls reply me as soon as possible?thank you very much..
currently i am planning to take the foundation in mahsa or masterskill..i did my stpm already..but my chemistry doesnt meet their minimum requirement..mahsa and masterskill ask me to take foundation in their college...mahsa and masterskill ...which one is better in pharmacy degree?masterskill already have their 4+0 la trobe degree...now is the second year..although they said the syllabus and books are from la trobe..but i think the lecturers are the same people who r teaching the pharmacy diploma students in masterskill ...so..r the lecturers qualified enough to teach the degree students?then about the mahsa..they said they will have pharmacy degree starting this september...they said if i want..i have to take foundation ..same as the masterskilll....but they r u not in colloboration with any other foreign universtiy like masterskill...and i think they also use the lecturers teaching diploma in mahsa themselves..so..i really confused now..can u pls teach me how to do now? thank you very much..pls reply me as soon as possible..they already start their foundation course now..


hmm... it is a mixture i would say.. not purely chem or bio. or maths.. u learn thing like physiology , sumthing related to biology, medicinal chemistry, related to chem, and pharmacology.... u need some maths for subjects like dispensing n compounding n biostatistic, pharmacokinetic. u hav subjects other than bio or chem, or maths.. u know things like management, communication skill, clinical pharmacy, pharmaconosy, etc..
so, it is more than chem or bio... but u can find chem n bio within the course.. n sum maths as well..
i remember what my head of school of pharm told me, to graduate, u need 3 things,
1st, u must have interest and desire to be a pharmacist,
secondly u must have determination and not to give up
and lastly u must work hard to achieve ur goal.
therefore i think work hard alone is not enough, u need to have determination and desire plus interest.
i am not sure abt mahsa n the lecturers there... in my school, all lecturers need to have phd... or at least master in clinical pharmacy ..
u ask if the lecturers are qualified to teach pharm degree students, i think u should check back the lecturers profile through ur uni record office or any related department.
