Success Stories from Past Students
From postdoc researcher to regulatory affairs trainee. Liviana Mummolo was a postdoc researcher looking to break into the pharmaceutical industry. But she had no pharma or regulatory affairs experience and didn't know where to start. She embarked on this course , where she gained significant regulatory knowledge. Her CV was reviewed and she gained multiple interviews. After her mock interview, she received two job offers. She then received further advice on how to choose between offers. She is now working as a regulatory affairs trainee for a medical devices company.
From pharmacy dispenser to regulatory affairs manager. Ms. T.A. wanted a career change. She was a pharmacy dispenser with a Biomedical Science degree but was unfulfilled in her role. With a keen interest in pursuing a career in regulatory affairs, she embarked on the course. After her CV was reviewed, she gained multiple interviews and with the support of a mock interview, was offered a Regulatory Affairs Officer position for a Medical Devices company. More recently, she has progressed to a Regulatory Affairs Manager position within the same company
From pharmaceutical science graduate to landing a job at GSK. Mr. H Malik was a recent pharmaceutical science graduate with only several months of laboratory experience. He had no previous pharmaceutical or regulatory affairs experience but wanted to break into the pharmaceutical industry. After his CV was reviewed, he received an entry level job offer from GSK as a Project Coordinator, which he accepted. Following this position, he moved into quality assurance, holding several positions, including as an QA executive.
From biochemistry undergraduate to receiving a GSK regulatory affairs placement offer. Ms. S.A. was a Biochemistry undergraduate and aspiring regulatory affairs professional. With limited work experience, she wanted to gain a regulatory affairs placement in a pharmaceutical company to improve her career options. However, regulatory affairs placements for undergraduates are highly competitive. To stand out from the crowd she undertook this regulatory training and her CV was reviewed. This enabled her to obtain a Regulatory Affairs placement offer from GSK.
