I would definitely recommend the Eu2P master's program to anyone who wants a solid understanding of pharmacovigilance and pharmacoepidemiology. My project was directly applicable to my work and my specialisation (D4) opened up a world of possibilities. While I would not wish it on anyone, I had to go through brain surgery during the course and I found a lot of support and understanding from both the faculty professors and the Eu2P office, which I highly appreciate.
This was a great course, which I really recommend to everyone who is interested in learning more about the basics of epidemiology. In addition to a very interesting curriculum, I loved how the course was arranged with a mix of self-learning, lectures and homework.
Completing my Masters' Degree in Pharmacovigilance and Pharmacoepidemiology through Eu2P has been an incredibly enriching experience. This program offers a well-rounded education, covering the core principles of drug safety and regulatory intricacies. It equips students with a solid theoretical foundation while emphasizing practical skills that are essential in the field. The program's faculty and support staff deserve high praise. Their dedication and expertise were evident throughout the program. Their open-door policy and encouragement of active engagement fostered a collaborative learning environment. Interactions with peers added depth to my understanding of pharmacovigilance, creating a vibrant community of learners. One standout aspect of the program is its real-world focus. We engaged in pharmacovigilance and pharmacoepidemiology projects and case studies that mirrored industry challenges. These experiences were instrumental in preparing us for the complexities of the pharmaceutical sector. The program's adaptability to evolving trends and regulatory changes ensured we remained up-to-date and well-prepared. Completing this program has not only expanded my knowledge but has also opened doors to promising career opportunities. I am now equipped with the skills and expertise necessary to make a meaningful impact in the PV/PE field. This experience has instilled in me a strong commitment to ensuring patient safety and responsible pharmaceutical use. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking a comprehensive education and a fulfilling career in the critical realm of pharmacovigilance.
Eu2P is a unique, exhaustive Master of Science in Pharmacovigilance and Pharmacoepidemiology. Thanks to its completeness, variety of topics, perspectives taken into consideration in the approach to subjects, it represents a great asset for both experienced as well as junior PV professionals. In addition, it gives students the great opportunity to get in touch with other PV professionals from all over the world, as well as representatives from Academic, Industry and Regulatory Agencies.
From my experience as a Eu2P Master program student, I can say the Eu2P programme is an excellent, well-organised, professionally delivered online training that provides postgraduate education and a great opportunity to progress, improve and deepen the knowledge on pharmacovigilance and pharmacoepidemiology area. The programme is flexible and blended with online and live teaching with best-acknowledged expert specialists teaching staff who work on PhV and PhEpi area; it consists of lectures, forums, wiki, tests, dropbox exchanges, workshop activities in small groups, multiple assignments and exams corresponding to the modules chosen and takes into account real-world situations. I learnt a lot and progressed going through all the modules chosen and can say it helped me very much to deeper understand the PhV- and PhEpi-related processes such as ways/approaches/challenges on risk communication, relevant techniques, risk and benefit/risk management, regulations and specific guidelines, handling safety issues, the role of PV systems and processes, etc. Additionally, academic support is provided as requested and the whole Eu2P team is always happy to respond and support students in any matter as needed. I highly recommend this program to all professionals who'd like to build a career and really progress in Pharmacovigilance and Pharmacoepidemiology.
The cases that I studied as part of the short course on risk communication opened my eyes. It sharpened my knowledge and practice in pharmacovigilance and pharmacoepidemiology. I wanted to extract every detail of the coursework and use it in my routine activities. This is what I needed. The real-life cases that I encountered following the Pandemic communication crises demonstrated that I had made the right choice to do this. I was able to take an educated step back and evaluate many risk communication decisions from different points of view of the stakeholders. I was glad that I could do the course at my own pace too. Thank you Eu2P faculty.
