| Summary: | Institutions of higher learning are working hard to provide effective, high quality educational
programs. Meanwhile, potential students are also looking at “quality” as a metric to help make
their decisions about which college to join. Mechanisms to evaluate the quality of higher education
offered in universities are already available. This study aimed to determine students’ attitudes and
opinions regarding the pharmacy curriculum at the International Islamic University Malaysia
(IIUM). A survey instrument was administered to all final year bachelor of pharmacy (BPharm)
students. Forty students (93%) completed and returned the survey. The majority of students (75%)
expressed their satisfaction regarding the curriculum in general. Most students (74%) were also
satisfied with the courses offered by the department of pharmacy practice. However, students were
not satisfied with certain issues such as overlapping of some pharmacy practice courses, and the
inclusion of the Malaysian language course in the BPharm curriculum. |
