Sponsors and Networking

The University of Western Cape’s school of pharmacy is in constant liaison with pharmaceutical companies such as Johnson and Johnson, Aspen and Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) as well as corporate pharmacies such as Clicks. As a result, these companies come to our campus and offer open days which allow our students to meet and mingle with company reps, these interactions could help inform a student of possible bursary or job opportunities. In our third year of pharmacy, students are taken to a pharmaceutical manufacturing site which allows students to see first-hand the different roles pharmacists play in manufacturing. The pharmaceutics department also organises a trip where students are allowed to shadow companies like Johnson and Johnson for a week. This can be really useful for students who are interested in pursuing a career in industry.
