Closure of Department of Pharmacy of Island College of Technology

on Wednesday, September 15, 2010


June 2010 - Pharmacy Board of Malaysia has decided to stop Island College of Technology(ICT), Penang from registering new students for 2010/2011 intake for Bachelor of Pharmacy (Hons.) USM program.

Although the real reason is not known publicly, the reason is said to be due to the college administration's lack of commitment in running the program.

With the 1st batch of the students have graduated, the 2nd , 3rd and 4th(final) batch of students have been absorbed into University of Science Malaysia, since the degree is a franchise degree.
The students transfered officially into USM on 12th August 2010.
