I would recommend the Eu2P Programme to any interested parties. The program had relevant real-world cases that contributed immensely to the body of Pharma Industry knowledge I contain. There is immense opportunity to relate theory and practice in day-to-day scenarios at my workplace and within the profession. A lot of enlightenment has come from being in the programme and it has helped me improve even on soft skills and organization at a personal level. I really loved the way the Faculty not only gave practical content on the course but also gave all the chances and opportunities for students to go through the program, understand it, and succeed.
Great experience! I have studied MSc in Pharmacovigilance and Pharmacoepidemiology at Eu2P and I have gathered knowledge, experience and applied everything I have learned. I had also met amazing Professors who guided us and assured that we are prepared for the next steps. We had seminars, courses, projects, exams and we had many times additional references if we wanted to learn more on those specific topics. Thank you Eu2P for this amazing experience, I had a great time during my MSc and I have also applied my knowledge regarding Pharmacology, Pharmacovigilance, Clinical Trials, Statistics and many other modules.
I enjoyed every moment of the master's program. The subjects are broad and comprehensive yet delivered in a manner that is easy to digest and progress through at a reasonable pace. Karine, Christa and Stephane were always responsive and helpful, regardless of the request or assistance that was required.
The Eu2P Master's program was a rewarding experience. It was challenging and I also met wonderful people from all over the world. The professors made themselves available and ensure you reach out to them. Be disciplined with your school schedule and you will succeed!
I highly recommend the Eu2P masters programme; all components are very well integrated and updated to current standards and practices. The possibility to have access and interact continuously with experienced professors and renowned professionals working in the pharmaceutical industry is a plus. The knowledge gained has changed my professional career and business perspectives, assisting multiple international organizations in introducing and performing clinical trials and evidence-based clinical procedures in developing markets.
Enrolling in the Eu2P Master was the beginning of a career change for me. The program was intellectually challenging and I appreciated the themed modules. The online courses made it possible to sustain a good work/life balance. I also appreciated the diversity of trainees from all over the world; it was fascinating to have this global perspective. Many of the modules were taught not only by academics, but by PV industry professionals who brought real-world perspectives and experience. Finishing the program was extremely rewarding not only at the personal level, but I was also able to find employment very soon after completing the Master thanks to my new PV skills. I would highly recommend the program to anyone who wants to develop their PV skills.
