In July, BRAC University Pharma Society (BUPS) organized an Academic Development Session (ADS) for the students of Department of Pharmacy, BRAC University. The session was organized at the Department of Pharmacy premises on July 27, 2016.
The Academic Development Session was conducted by Dr. Zulfiquer Hossain (Associate Professor, Department of Pharmacy, BRAC University) and Mr. Samiul Alam Rajib (Senior Lecturer, Department of Pharmacy, BRAC University). The session started with an inspiring speech from Dr. Zulfiquer Hossain, where he highlighted the scope of studying pharmacy abroad. His valuable speech also included ways of writing statement of purpose and letter of recommendation required for applying to study abroad. Mr. Samiul Alam Rajib followed Dr. Zulfiquer Hossain’s motivational discussion by sharing his views on scope of Pharmacy in Bangladesh with the students. He put forward the picture of vast opportunities of pharmacy job sectors in Bangladesh such as Marketing, Research and Development, Production, Quality Control and regulatory controls etc. to the students. He also discussed the importance and opportunities for internship in pharma companies.
A student always requires a sense of identification and direction of ways to proceed in his career. In this perspective, a career development session can indeed play an important role to guide him in the proper direction. This program was a remarkable initiative of the students of Department of Pharmacy to get acquainted with the different scope and sectors of Pharmacy so that students can set their future goals.
