Credit transfer for Bachelor of Pharmacy: Institute Technology Bandung

Good news for diploma student in Pharmacy Malaysia.


ITB offered credit transfer for diploma student , with term and condition. Gladly informed the program of credit transfer in ITB reactivated but strictly apply for the student who really met the requirement . A roll of exams will take place to estimate your credibility.


First let me be your guide introduce my university. Institute Teknologi Bandung is located middle of Bandung , Indonesia. Recently , ITB managed to secure it place as the TOP 1 university in Indonesia.

To see the environment in ITB during my first day registeration  - kindly press here Institute Technology Bandung. 

Cool place and beautiful environment.


“My Indonesian friends told, ITB was the best university and dream university for all of the them. ITB students were among of the top students in the country, they are the smartest, the best.
Sukarno , the first president of Republic of Indonesia was ex – engineering degree student of ITB”


Whispered in my  heart “Picking up this university , I know I should be very proud. But at  the same time, I m sweating like hell when I know I need to compete among  the smartest students in Indonesia.”




Back to the story. ITB did offered 2 type of pharmacy program which is

  • SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY PHARMACY STUDY(INDUSTRIAL PHARMACY) 
  • CLINICAL &COMMUNITY PHARMACY STUDY(CLINICAL PHARMACY)


Before this , Bachelor of Science Technology Pharmacy was the only pharmacy program offered for international student since 2006 , most of the Malaysian seniors were Bachelor Science Technology Pharmacy student. They complained this really bring troubles for their working in hospital ,as normally hospital  more to the clinical pharmacy study. Most of them , working in  industrial – PHARMANIAGA ® with very good salary per month (RM5000- RM8000 +++)



Good news for juniors,2014 is the first batch for Clinical Pharmacy be recognized by Malaysia Pharmacy Board, and the Industrial Pharmacy had been banned. So batch 2013 was the very last batch for Industrial Pharmacy. This kinda related with the policy in Malaysia. Malaysia not accepted Bachelor of Industrial Pharmacy in hospital anymore, but if you prefer to work in industrial your are most welcome to take the Bachelor Industrial Pharmacy.

While most of them confused what the different between both of these? Let me briefly explain:   
The different between both were the subjects. Industrial more to the manufacturing study , clinical more to what to do in Hospital.

The yellow highlighted were lab work subjects/ Practicum lab. Extremely  tough.


Industrial is more to the manufacturing and people claimed the industrial students need more pharmaceutical knowledge, while Clinical study student learn more about the pharmacology knowledge.


ITB normally offered to open another international class for international student , learning fully in English. Even their lecturers were Indonesian, but believe me, most of the lecturers talk good and fluent English. They study abroad in Netherland, Australia , U.K, Germany ,ect .
However, ITB international student intake were strictly control amount to be less than 10 for each batch.


Sad to tell, my batch only have 5 international students, including me. Even we are in small amount , but we are like a big family, helping each other.

During lab work/ Practical , we will mix with the local Indonesian class, most of them very helpful to guide and teach us. Sometimes, I really hope to get in the same class with them , but unfortunately my Bahasa Indonesia not good enough to understand what the lecturer teach in Indonesia Language.

Kindly visit this link if you wanna find out more about  Ijazah Farmasi 

If you interest to know about my experiences  during my one month practical as pharmacist in Malaysia hospital, KINDLY CLICK IN THE LINK BELOW







For final year , we need to do research / final project , which can pick either  the department pharmacology, microbiology , pharmacognosy, pharmaceutical alone  or combine. Sure, if combine, it will be more complicated but challenging. Everyone really hope to end their bachelor study with perfect case.

My final project : Plant extraction + Microbiology

I personally more prefer to take combine department, pharmacognosy and microbiology. Extract thhe chemical compound from plant and test on the microorganism , I think it will be damn interesting.


 If I m lucky enough, I can be fonder for new medicine HIHIHIHI  

This only happen on those really really genius , and I m not in  the group .
