Studying abroad + degree selection

career/internship/job

Hi everyone, I know my dilemma has been going on for really long but I’m really hoping for some clarification

Pharmacy

  1. I’ve been contemplating on doing pharmacy because it does sound interesting, the only thing that I’m worried about for this course is the chemistry. I’m not really interested in chemistry but I don’t mind studying it (I’m able to maintain decent grades for chem)
  2. I plan to do pharmacy in monash. Should I go for the February Monash Australia intake? I’ve always dreamed of studying abroad and experiencing that life in Australia. I was wondering if it would be a good idea if I immediately study there. Or should I go for a 1 + 3 program? (1 year in monash Malaysia then 3 years in monash Australia)

Has anyone went to monash Australia immediately for pharmacy before? Can I please get some insight on this?

Speech language pathology

  1. I recently discovered this and I was wondering if it’s a good field to pursue. I do hope that I will be able to have good career prospects in Malaysia in the future so if anyone can give me any advice on this I would really appreciate it.

Physiotherapy

  1. Same as SLP. I was wondering if this will be a good field to pursue/ work in Malaysia in the future.

+ awhile ago when I was really stressed and worried I decided to just apply to different Aussie unis and try my luck on obtaining scholarships + different programs
- I received an offer from university of Sydney and they informed me that obtaining a scholarship shouldn’t be an issue BUT I applied for bachelor in commerce :,)

Can anyone please offer some wisdom and guidance please? I’ve been struggling for awhile now and I really don’t want to make the wrong decision :(
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!!
