A career in pharmacy can be versatile and highly gratifying. There is a rising call for pharmacists to apply their knowledge and skills in patient care (community pharmacy and hospital), pharmaceutical industry, research centre, regulatory affairs, marketing, and academia. Currently, there is an acute shortage of pharmacists in all sectors mentioned in Malaysia.

The Bachelor of Pharmacy degree requires four years of full time study for honours degree. There are three semesters per year (two long semesters and one short semester). The first year is foundation year in which students study physic, chemistry, and the basic pharmaceutical sciences and are introduced to pharmacy. The remaining three years are dedicated to the higher levels of biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences, together with specialised clinical pharmacy studies. During the later years, considerable time is spent in clinical placements in community and hospital pharmacies, where valuable practical experience is gained.
