On the 20th December 2024, an event was held at T1BE hall from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. This event was meant to achieve two goals which are to increase the awareness of the students on the international mobility programme and industrial training respectively. During the event, several activities were held in order. Such crucial activities were opening speeches by Associate Professor Dr. Mohd Hanif bin Zulfakar, and information sharing sessions along with their Q&A sessions respectively. These activities are spaced out evenly in order to provide sufficient resting time thus ensuring maximum attention by the attendees.
Ample information was shared from the students involved in the mobility programme. Several programmes were presented such as Global Pharmacy & Indonesia Cultural Exchange programme (GPICE), Student Exchange Programme (SEP), and the 69th IPSF World Congress. This programme can be categorised into two types which are inbound (national) and outbound (international) with differing degrees of funding required. As a general overview, this programme aims to explore the pharmaceutical differences between companies or countries, and allow cultural exchange between participants of varying origins. Thus, participants of said mobility programmes will be able to utilize this knowledge and experience to collaborate with international pharmaceutical companies in either business or medical purposes with ease.
Last but not least, the industrial training also known as internship was crucial for all students involved. During the session, several helpful tips were shared by the experienced such as research company culture and tailoring of one’s CV with interspecific skills. Therefore, many attendees of the session will be better prepared accompanied by a higher chance of being rewarded with an internship for a desired company or medical facility.
