European Pharmaceutical Students’ Association – EPSA

EPSA is the European umbrella organization of pharmaceutical student associations. As a member of the K.N.P.S.V. you can become active on a European level at EPSA, for example by becoming a member of one of the Departments.

Students Exchange Programme – SEP

General

The Student Exchange Program (SEP) is a mobility program of IPSF that offers pharmacy students the opportunity to take a look at pharmacy across the border. The program can take place in different sectors of pharmacy, such as in a public pharmacy or hospital pharmacy, in industry or research.

The SEP usually takes place in the summer period between 2 weeks to 3 months. During the SEP you will become acquainted with the pharmacy in one of the nearly 88 participating countries. Often social and cultural activities are organized by and for the students, so there is a chance to get to know (bio) pharmacy students and to discover the city.

The Individual Mobility Project (IMP)

The IMP is an internship program of the European Pharmaceutical Students’ Association (EPSA). In early 2013, the K.N.P.S.V. started up the IMP in the Netherlands. So far, 22 European countries have participated in the project. The idea behind the IMP is to form the link between talented, motivated (bio) pharmacy students and leading pharmaceutical companies. It can be difficult for students to find an (international) internship and vice versa for companies to get in touch with a high-quality intern.
