Hi. I'm finishing my A-level. I can say that my biology is very strong, but not chemistry, though I still manage to get A for AS level. I've already applied to IMU MPharm 2+2 program. May I know normally what are the requirements of their conditional offer for MPharm? I'm not confident to get A for my chemistry, maybe math also. Do I still stand a chance to enter the course with result ABB?
Thank you =)

Hi! Thank you for your replies, guys!

If I'm not mistaken, students need both ielts and muet to enter the IMU MPharm course, right?

Well, as I personally don't think the cost between IMU and Nott differs much, so I guess the cost is not a matter to me. I'll most probably return to Msia after graduating and the reason for me to choose a twinning program is to gain studying experience in overseas. Besides, IMU is very near my house, just about 10 minutes driving distance away. On the other hand, Notts which is in Semenyih is more than half an hour away from my place, provided there's no traffic jam. But I heard Nott is way better than IMU, may I know how true is this?

By the way, I'll try to apply for Nott also to keep my options open.

Well, the problem is Nott needs A for chemistry. My friend got a conditional offer from nott and the condition is he has to get at least AAB for A-level and one of the A must be from chemistry. I don't really think I can get A for my chemistry as I kinda screwed up my Paper 4 yesterday And I didn't really do well in one of the papers for math. So, I don't think I can meet the requirement for Nott. Hehe... so, if I'm lucky enough to meet meet the requirement when the actual result comes out in this august, then I'll choose Nott instead. I'll apply for nott right after my exam is over.

well, if I'm going to apply for Nott, I'll apply using my forecast/trial result also which is AAA, the same as my friend. The problem is I don't think I did well in the actual exam and I'm affraid I can't get the same result as my forecast at the end. So, if I receive a conditional offer and I can't meet the requirement, then does that mean I will be rejected immediately?
Since the actual result will only be coming out in August, should I wait until then or should I apply as soon as possible? I already have the reference letter from my college in hands.
Thank you.

Ok, thank you very much for your advice, guys! I think I know what to do next.

Hi, I found the course structure in the website of Nott is pretty brief. Anyone has a more detailed MPharm course structure for Nott? TQ

Thank you

I'm going to Nottingham for interview on this coming friday. haha, wish me luck.

Hi, URGENT! I got the offers from both Nottingham and IMU. The offer from IMU is the a 2+2 credit transfer programme to university of queensland, australia. This is a very new programme, in fact, it is just being approved last week. I was used to dreaming about going to UQ, but there was no such programme last time. After some time, I was determined to go for Nottingham, especially after I got the conditional offer. But now, the IMU-UQ arrangement is very tempting. Should I change my mind and go for IMU-UQ or just stick to Nottingham? To be honest, I prefer to go to Australia instead of UK, but somehow, I don't like the idea of being the first batch student. There're only 2 girls who have already confirmed to enrol into this credit transfer programme. The website of IMU doesn't show anything about this arrangement yet, but it is being advertised in the newspaper. IMU told me to give a reply to them the latest by this coming Friday since the course will start on the next Monday. Can anyone give me some suggestions? Tq.

Hi, thank you, guys! I think I'll just stick to Nottingham.

Hi, juz curious about the salary of a hospital pharmacist...
May I know how much is the maximum salary that can be earned by a hospital pharmacist per month? And is it possible for a pharmacist to get a salary of around RM10k per month before the age of 35?
Thank you.

No, it's still not late to apply for both the courses. In fact, Nott's School of Pharmacy will be having another open day on 21st of august.

I've already accepted the unconditional offer from uni of nottingham and succeed to get the 25% partial scholarship (high achiever scholarship).
However, the tuition fees still seem to be very expensive. Anyone know are there any available scholarships out there for pharmacy students?
Thank you.

hello. finally i'm now a pharmacy student in nott. entering week 6 soon

i was from taylor's as well last time and i didn't take physics from the very beginning. now i'm doing MPharm, 1st year in nottingham malaysia. wat i can tell is 3 subjects in a-level will do juz fine as long as u meet the minimum requirement which is ABB/AAB in the case of nottingham.
by the way, nottingham uni is a really good place to study pharmacy.

haha, welcome to nottingham, the MPharm in tis uni is surely excellent.

yup, i'm a 1st year student over there, sept 2009 intake. actually, thanks to this forum, i finally made a wise decision and came to nottingham last year. good luck in ur a-lvl. =)

haha, although the uni requires the applicants to have a minimum result of AAB in a-level, lets say if u got ABB at the end *touch wood*, u may still stand a chance to be admitted. Don't worry, juz give it a try and who knows u'll be joining us in this coming sept? ^^

we were informed that graduates from this 2+2 programme are eligible to apply for pre-reg in singapore few months ago.

This is part of the email which was sent to the MPharm students by a lecturer:
"Singapore Pharmacy Board is encouraging our students to register and work in Singapore. You may find that Nottingham 2+2 programme has not yet been listed under the qualification list yet but I have been informed by SPC that they will consider all our students after pre-reg or even to undertake pre-reg in Singapore upon graduation."

yup, youngkies n loveless90 are right, juz apply for it, preferably submit everything before the open day, so that u can get the unconditional offer on that day itself. Fantasia, ur result is good, no worries =)
