- Finally today I answer the question you all have been waiting for. How much does it pay working in Malaysia after graduating with a Biomedical Science Degree?
Today, we'll look at government positions, specifically working as a Medical Lab Technologist (MLT) and I'll debunk why there is a misconception on how people perceive Biomedical Science graduates to be a low paying career. Stay tuned as I will update more on these soon, so remember to subscribe to my channel for more updates.

Such positive vibes and informative videos. To add on, most hospitals usually have their own MLT programs so it's easier for the MLT students to get recruited (they still need to undergo entrance tests before qualifying for the MLT roles). They're hundreds if not thousands of people waiting in line for a 10 or less vacancy in SPA postings, so if you still want to go for routine 8-5 lab based work (with shifts), you can try out private sectors. Since the pandemic, many job opportunities has opened in the healthcare sectors, so explore!
If you like researching, you can start out as research assistant (If you want to pursue Master or PhD, there are many things that you have to consider before saying yes to a project. Don't simply pursue Master or PhD because it's the common route, because trust me, postgrad is a tough journey- and that's a whole different segment😬). You can also venture into medical sales representative, clinical research coordinator, or look for openings as science officer.
What's interesting is that as a Biomed grad, you can venture into many different fields that you like and build your career path from there: biotech, forensic science, pharmacy, dentistry, genetics, food science, biochem etc.
I'm a biomed grad, and I'm currently pursuing postgrad in neuropharmacology in Faculty of Pharmacy. Challenging? Yes. But I'm always ironically up for challenges, if that makes sense 😆 Anyways, love the videos, keep doing em!
Omggg thank you Ana for such in depth information. I'm pretty sure a lot of people would find it helpful, mind if I pin this comment? 😚
@@wisely_koay sure, no problem!
Thank you so much for elaborating this much!
I'm looking forward to pursue degree departing from my current diploma certificate qualification job but I have no idea what to pursue.
Degree or post basic?
I'm one of the 3-years government programmed sponsorship diploma holder hehe
Thank you for this very informative video! I'm putting biomed in my UPU and your video really helps me a lottt
Hey Elena, that's great to hear 😚
If you look into UK job market, the most obvious career for a biomed undergraduate studnet is MLT, and need to make sure the degree course is IBMS accredited. However in msia it seems like mlt is more tailored for a diploma student
Thanks❤❤
Hey thank you for answering my question!
You are very much welcomed 😊
Hi Wisely! Thank you for this video. It helped me clear my doubts about the MLTs and the salary.
I'm looking forward for the next video! 👍👏
Glad to hear it Sabrina 😊
Looking forward to ur upcoming video hehehh...I would like to know about the job prospect in private sector
Sure thing, imma do some research on it 1st 😉
I can't find the video of you continuing your talk regarding biomedical science job carrier with grade 41 and above🥺🥺😭
How about you .. when i study biomedical science ... and continue my study to be lecturer?
Can you explain what is biological science?
May i know whether the biomedical student can be a dentist?? If can, would you mind sharing hows the flow going, thank you in advance
He'll brother, I am medical laboratory technologist in uae, how can I work in Malaysia, I have bachelor degree and ascpi certificate
Thank you for the informative video. I'm studying biomedical science year 3 but I'm international student. I would like to know job opportunities and further studies for Non-Malaysian biomed student in Malaysia . It will be really helpful for me in future. Thank you
I know the fact we cannot go into public sector because 1st requirement will be warganegara Malaysia. I want to know more about private sector like do they provide professional Visa, salary range and other information.
I think you should go around the private hospitals and ask, or just search up the official website of the private hospitals, they usually place some vacancy posting kind of ads on their own official website.
I personally don't think there is postings for foreigners in Malaysian government sector since local contract staffs too is competing each other for the available vacancy, the competition is really great and currently no new postings created for more MLTs but the population of Malaysia has gone up so much already... too bad.
As a foreigner, you might be recruited if you are a person with highly demanded and also rare type of specialist but not for MLTs posting for sure. The rest occupation pathway I'm not really sure.
2.3k for a degree I earn more for working part time…..
Can a biomedical science grad be a scientist after completing further studies ?
Hi there, if you're referring scientist as being able to carry out research, then yaaa, in fact you'd be able to be join research projects even with just a degree too, hope that helps!
How about food science?
hey there, just wanna know which uni in malaysia is ibms accredited?
imu ,
What are your seniors currently doing ? And what is the average pay ?
Some are into research, some work in labs, wide range of jobs. Average pay would be 2.3k for fresh grads
@@wisely_koay that is so low. I really love science but I wonder if I should go into business or something
@@donnashreeingti1597 Ikr... But why not get the best of both worlds. There's stuff like scientific entrepreneurship if you are interested in it.
Can I work in a food industry after completing biomedical science
Depends on the company, but most would allow you as you have a science background 😊
@@wisely_koay thank you 😊
I choose biomedical science I hope I never regret for my career
There will be days where you'll question yourself but hang in there and know that you will be just fine ❤️
@@wisely_koay yup I have question for you which course good pharmacy or biomedical?? Please help
so which one you chose ?
Anyway pharmacy is overloaded already, too many people graduated but no posting in government sector, mostly open own private pharmacy (I'm not sure how they work through to own business pharmacy)
bro now i am your new subscriber i am weak in studies can i take bio medical science its hard or moderate? i am planning to apply bio medical science in uk

Heya Soo, great to hear from you again! Yeaaa, the IBMS accreditation is not really relevant here in Msia 😬
Yeah only some university are accredited but there are routes in which we can get HCPC registration if our degree not accredited by IBMS
