Our aim is to provide you with the skills and knowledge to be a medicines expert to choose from the full range of pharmacy careers.

With the ever-increasing volume of medicines in the market, pharmacists work along with doctors to improve therapeutic outcome and patient care. Indeed, with pharmacists as part of the healthcare team involved in patient care, outcomes improve and costs decline. Pharmacy graduates can also work on product development. In Malaysia and abroad, they are in great demand in the pharmaceutical industry for clinical research, formulation research and development, production, quality assurance, regulatory affairs and marketing. The IMU Pharmacy programme offers the option to complete the entire 4-year programme locally at IMU or credit transfer to the University of Otago, New Zealand or University of Tasmania, Australia.
