Some former students' testimonials
Eu2P was a really rewarding experience! [...] As a student, this program gave me also the opportunity of collaborating (through group work) with some health professionals who gave me a more practical vision than mine.

One of my favorite learning experience. Very demanding... late evening and busy Sundays... but very generous in knowledge.

Eu2P was a really rewarding experience! This program allows the trainees to be in contact with different European universities and to get a global vision of the pharmacovigilance and pharmacoepidemiology. This is really an advantage in the current world and in these particularly fields where it is more and more necessary to work in a global way. As a student, this program gave me also the opportunity of collaborating (through group work) with some health professionals who gave me a more practical vision than mine. It is important to note that the e-learning let us more flexibility in term of organisation and for example, I could go abroad to perform my research project!
Eu2P program was a very good training and one of my favorite learning experience. Very demanding... late evening and busy Sundays... but very generous in knowledge. It provides various perspectives through collaboration with a pool of student colleagues from different countries, great teachers with a very efficient pedagogic approach (with practicing) and a modern tool (e-learning) allowing to manage work time without commuting issues. I learned / shared a lot and invite anyone interested in capitalising Pharmacoepidemiological competencies to run into it.
Eu2P is definitely a great choice for the ambitious persons who want to work in different fields of drug safety management. In summary, for me, it is comprehensive, concise, interesting and practical. First, it's comprehensive because I was trained by different experts from different countries, representing for different stakeholders in pharmacovigilance network. Second, it's concise because my trainers well understand that many of us were working and had no time to study UNNECESSARY things. Third, it's interesting because I had various chances to do different activities, use different sources of documents, was exposed with different teaching methods and met cool people. And finally, it's practical because I know that in the future, I would work with global colleagues via emails, phone calls, teleconferences, not via face-to-face meetings and e-learning would prepare me for these challenges. I know clearly that I have learnt a lot from Eu2P training, both in knowledge and working skills. It helped me a lot to outline different strategies for my prospective working plan. If there will be one thing I could guarantee, you will never regret if you finally decide to become one of us!
This is probably the best Master for Pharmacovigilance with a very advanced e-learning platform you can find. Both live and playback lectures are available. It allows me to attend and complete the Masters remotely while working but yet not compromising on quality. I have learnt a lot from this Master and I will strongly recommend anyone who is interested.
Excellent programme! Incomparable opportunity to learn from leading experts in the area. I would recommend it to anyone, who have already spent few years and gain first experience, working with biopharmaceuticals – in regulatory affairs, PV, clinical research or HTA. Provided concepts are very refreshing, comprehensive and up to date. Moreover, you can follow the course from workplace or from home. Entire at once, or at your own pace module after module (or just the specific topic, what you need). At the same time it is very interactive. I have never felt, that learning is virtual, so live was the exchange with teachers and fellow students!
Are you willing to become a critical thinker who is able to understand in the interplay between the humans and the drugs? If yes, I suggest you to join us at Eu2P to get a comprehensive training in pharmacovigilance and pharmacoepidemiology. With a faculty made of pharmaceutical companies, regulatory authorities, and university representatives, you will be equipped with the tools to become a sound scientist and leader that can grab the best benefits from medicines while managing their inherent risks. Moreover, as the training is fully online, your progress and new skills will surely reflect on your performance in your current job... So, let Eu2P take you the next level of your education and your career dream.
