I would say go for Monash. Private institutions in Malaysia usually have little to no issues when it comes to registration and accreditation so it's almost guaranteed that Monash will be recognised. If I am not mistaken, Monash Malaysia is also applying for accreditation with the Australian board as well so a Monash degree will most certainly give you an advantage if you ever choose to work in Australia.

but some of the people say that the price of the course in monash is like too much over than what they are offering u... also they say only the monash campus in aus is good... the one in malaysia is still new.... its like, the price we pay dont really worth it... :s

you can also consider U of Nottingham 2+2 Master of Pharmacy. You get a Master degree Fr UK instead of Bachelor in IMU.

Well, an extra 50k for an internationally recognised degree isn't all that much, taking into consideration the opportunity to work in Australia (or anywhere else) if you have a Monash degree.

I would like to ask whether the Pharmacy course in Monash is accredited by the Australia victoria board tat allow me to work in Australia in the future?I knew the course in malaysia is the same as the one in Australia but i have also heard some saying it is not recognised by australia.Besides,is there any exchange program available?

I think for pharmacy its flexible and you can go for a few semesters in aussie if you wish to. Unlike medicine, completion of 5 years in Malaysia is compulsory. So heap and hail go for Monash! Plus, its closer to your original institution, and also their facilities are superb, I'm sure. IMU only if you really consider your budget.But ultimately your traveling cost sums up to about the same.
