Alumni Testimonials

There are many interesting programs in this program, such as student mobility and sit-in.

I feel grateful to have the opportunity to continue my studies to the master's level at the USU Faculty of Pharmacy after graduating with my bachelor's degree in 2019. The thing that I should be grateful for having graduated from the USU Master Program in Pharmaceutical Sciences is that the program presented in this study program is exciting. When I first entered this program, I had the opportunity to participate in student mobility at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. In addition, the study program often conducts webinars, guest lectures, and even visiting lecturers from foreign universities through the World Class University Program. I also experienced the difference between offline and online lectures. Although there are many complaints during the change from offline to online, positive things can be taken, such as the Sit-In Study program at the USU Faculty of Medicine Biomedical Study Program. This Sit In program lasted for 1 entire semester like studying in a pharmacy study program. At that time, I had the opportunity to attend 2 semesters of lectures at the Biomedical Study Program of the USU Faculty of Medicine.
In addition, lecturers in the USU Master Program in Pharmaceutical Sciences have specifications and competencies narrowed down to their respective fields of expertise. Students are free to choose what specialization they want to explore. The excellence of this study program is also supported by a management system with a friendly and informative admin related to academics, lecture information, pre-colloquium registration, colloquium, results seminar to the thesis defense, all neatly organized with clear requirements needed so as not to confuse students.
I have been keeping up with developments in the USU Master's Program in Pharmaceutical Sciences. I see that there are new changes, where lecturers have also been brought in from several well-known universities, such as Oregon State University, International Islamic University Malaysia, Universiti Sains Malaysia, and many more. I hope that the USU Master Program in Pharmaceutical Sciences will continue to develop and make breakthroughs in the academic world and, of course, maintain its excellent accreditation so that it produces many outstanding graduates.
