Have you heard of google?

I heard is a nice shiny tool that can tell you the telephone number to the course manager of the whichever Temasek Poly course you are looking at.
Oh..you don't know arh. That's too bad, just apply to NUS and pay what $10/ $50. If they reject you it is only $50 so still not so bad....

Your diploma will need to be a science-related diploma.

In that case, you have near zero chance of entering a local pharmacy course and any autonomous universities, unless you have very strong mitigating factors to enter through discretionary admissions.

You may want to consider other majors from UniSIM part-time programmes,
- http://www.unisim.edu.sg/programmes/Undergraduate/Pages/part-time.aspx
Or
Move on with SkillsFuture Earn and Learn programme relevant to your diploma,
- http://www.skillsfuture.sg/earnandlearn

If you insist on a pharmacy career in sg, you may want to take note of the recognised overseas pharmacy degrees,

But I suspect the same requirements apply, you need to have a pre-u science background.

i think australia requirement not so hard?

Pre-u chemistry and math background is a must aside from meeting the english entry requirements in Australia.
Chemistry is a prerequisite for their modules.
Did you take any chemistry and math modules in poly?

Doesn't matter whether their requirements are hard or not, you will be competing with fellow international students for places.
So either do your best at strengthening your application and/or pray hard that your competitors are weak.

Bro. Sorry to dissapoint you uh. But what makes you think your GPA can enter NUS? Even the lousiest course in NUS requires at least 3.6 (unless it's a part time degree). 2+ GPA for an overseas uni sounds possible. But you are gonna just burn your money because you won't have scholarship. Well...if you are rich then ok loh

Lol.but I want work as pharmacy assistant. Thinking got future or not .I took chemical engineering in poly.I know nus cannot. Consider Australia. But 1 year is 30k. 3 years 100k liao.crazy. too expensive

 

[Ocw655]

Haha I also temasek poly chem eng diploma graduate, CAP 3.34... but I never went for pharmacy degree. Hate organic chem and biochemistry. I graduate from NUS applied chemistry bachelor degree, specialised in material chem..

If I don't remember wrongly. Temasek chem eng graduate cannot enroll into NUS Pharmacy degree. They are more for poly graduate with diploma in pharmaceutical science. I have friends with NYP diploma in pharmaceutical science graduated with NUS Pharmacy degree...

And not forgetting the hefty living expenses. Let's say one year about 25k. Gonna spend about 180K studying there. I don't think you'll be able to enter NUS pharmacy. It's crazily competitive. You might want to consider overseas universities like UK/Aussie.

Try uni of Sunderland MPharm - 4 years programme. School fees are about 22k per year. Living expenses are more affordable there. It's recognised in Singapore. Most of UK's pharmacy degrees are MPharm.
