PharmD or BPharm: Which Comes First?
If you're starting from a school-leaving qualification rather than an existing pharmacy degree, the Bachelor of Pharmacy is the right starting point, not PharmD. PharmD is designed as the next rung on the ladder — deeper clinical training for people who already hold a relevant pharmacy qualification. If you're unsure which side of that line you fall on, send us your current qualification and we'll tell you honestly which route fits.
Indicative Fees and Duration
The indicative international fee for PharmD at UoC is approximately RM60,300 over a duration of approximately two years — both figures are indicative and should be confirmed with a counsellor against the current fee schedule for your intake, as international fee schedules are updated each cycle.
