industrial pharmacy

[Asterix]

No problems. Yep alot are moving to cheaper markets i.e. Asia. But i woudnt listen to anyone who is always negative. Do what u want to do with your own life. Deparments that are moving are mainly the drug research departments. However there are still many remain here due to the excellent facilities Europe can provide. U can always do hospital pharmacy. Pay starts lower around 24-31k but within ten yrs u cud be on 50-70k. If its a large teaching hospital it is likely to carry out alot of clinical research in conjunction with industry. Here is a link to a survey done by the RPSGB for industrial pay http://rpsgb.org/pdfs/ipgsurvey08.pdf. But dont worry to much oppurtunities are still vast, u can go into marketing, regulatory affairs, law, clinical research, formulation design. The choice is yours. Then u always have research through academia. The RPSGB already annouced it wants about 300 more pharmacists to do PHDs yet another oppurtunity. Remember most of all passion and having an optermistic outlook will go a long way.

is that true?

Top uni is Harvard in USA. MBA offered in many UK uni,s. Local to me is Cranfield in Bedfordshire.
First test of any MBA would be student is, use your own initiative. so far you are failing miserably.

I just wanted to know what MBA was, I didn't say I wanted to study in that area.

Well now you have learnt two things:
1) Lots of acronyms out there.
2) Most you can find yourself on google.

Yep it definately helps to do your own research. To do an mba generally you need around 5 yrs work experience and a 2.1 degree plus an entry exam. Other MBAs 2-3 yrs experience i.e. at a lesser known institution.
