Hi op,

The best choice in my opinion is Pharmacy. Though both are medical related courses, Pharmacy cuts it for me with it wide array of opportunities after school compared to MLS. I tell you, the opportunities are quite many. And to be honest with you, this is very important in Nigeria if you're choosing a course to study.

I was in a similar situation about 20years ago. I met a Lab scientist for advice. He advised me to go for Pharmacy and I did.

I have been a pharmacist for 15 years now.

My verdict: It has has been joy all the way.

Pharmacy rocks.

Am not saying that MLS is bad. Its also a good course.

This is interesting.
Re: Pharmacy Vs Medical Lab Science by MorufuAtanda: 2:50pm On May 27, 2019
The two courses are getting saturated. People should start going into Radiography.

Go for the one your that heart wants, but since u you said u don't really love maths then maybe MLS is for u.


And your utme Score is not really good enough for neither MLS nor Pharmacy in UNIBEN, u will need to score very high score in post UTME most especially if u are not catchment or northern Nigeria.

Finally, Uniben is offering Doctor of Pharmacy, but it seems MLS is more competitive in UNIBEN than pharmacy.
Is B.pharm better than D.pharm?

Re: Pharmacy Vs Medical Lab Science by Lilimax(f): 3:18pm On May 27, 2019
Better go for Pharmacy.
You'll nt regret your decision later my dear smiley

I am an Alumni of UNIBEN cool
Re: Pharmacy Vs Medical Lab Science by iaamxavier(m): 3:20pm On May 27, 2019
Finally smiley
I'm in the same shoes with you
I'm thinking of opting for pharmacy or med lab
I'm sincerely confused because people are saying pharmacy is quite hard and it's more of chemistry in which I'm not to good at, but has more prospect
I know I'd excel if I do med lab
But at the same time I need some one who has idea in both course to orientate me
I'd be very grateful

Ps: ain't doing any of them in a fed uni
Re: Pharmacy Vs Medical Lab Science by iaamxavier(m): 3:20pm On May 27, 2019
Quest33:
Ebonyi state
Heard EBSU have a very great medical facility there
Even better than UNN

Ebonyi state
U stand a good chance, it seems d state is also education less develop state, so just focus very hard for post utme..

But admission to either of the courses mentioned before, will be more easier for u in a sch like UDUS in Sokoto.

Pharmacy
No maths no engineering
Hahaha,this table you are shaking ehn. I know someone whose greatest life mistake till now is going to Pharmacy because he thinks he won't do maths and calculations. He suffered depression after extra years and eventually kicked out of Pharmacy school. Pharmacy is one of the toughest and most brutal courses in Nigerian universities, not even medicine where you have multiple chance to do resit. Granting of resit in Pharmacy school, even at the release of final results in your final year semester, is rigorously debated and usually rarely granted and unlike medicine, you can still be kicked out of Pharmacy school in your final year for not meeting up academically . If you are not strong academically, don't go near pharmacy because it will make you look dumb and dumber but if you are really smart, please go ahead and study it. It's actually a lucrative and prestigious profession

If you want to study pharmacy don't drop because people said it's hard, as long as you can read you will pass smoothly, coming from a pharmacy student
