Are you studying life sciences and will soon have your Master's degree in your pocket? Are you wondering whether a PhD is right for you or how to find the right position? Then register now for the “PhD - Which path for your doctorate?” information evening.

Even though many Master's graduates, especially in the natural sciences, strive for a PhD, you have to decide whether a doctorate is the right path for you. And even if the goal is clear, there are various options on the path to a doctorate, e.g. university vs. industry, independent doctorate vs. structured doctoral program or scholarship vs. in-house position.

Who better to answer these questions than doctoral candidates themselves? That's why we've invited doctoral candidates from universities in Germany and abroad and from industry to talk about their experiences.

This is your chance to finally get all the answers you need on the topic of doctoral theses and to plan your next career move!

Fancy a relaxed evening with friends and exciting quiz questions? Then join us when we celebrate the start of our new regulars' table with a PubQuiz! Test your knowledge in the field of life sciences, get to know btS Erlangen and look forward to regular meetings in a convivial atmosphere.

Are you a student / doctoral candidate and would like to work in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry in the near future? Many employers in these fields welcome it if their employees already have knowledge of good working practice (GxP).

In cooperation with btS e. V., the Pharmaakademie is offering three intensive GxP training courses this spring. The 5-day full-time course via video conference will start during the lecture-free period on March 04. 2024, on March 18, 2024 or on April 08, 2024. If interested, non-students can also take part in the GxP course - however, the course fee is then higher.

The following contents are taught in the GxP training:

• Good Laboratory Practice/ GLP
• Good Clinical Practice/ GCP
• Good Manufacturing Practice/ GMP
• Good Pharmacovigilance Practice/ GVP.

Classes are held on weekdays from approx. 9 am to 4.30 pm. After successfully passing a multiple-choice exam, you will receive a certificate of completion. This additional qualification can have a positive impact on your future job applications.

If you would like to take part in the GxP training course, please register via the Pharmaakademie online store. First come, first serve - places are allocated according to the priority principle.

Do you sometimes find yourself faced with a mountain of tasks and feel overwhelmed? That doesn't have to be the case! The free A.S.I. seminar offers help.

What content can you expect?

Fundamentals, quality management systems, quality risk management, cooperation with authorities, pharmaceutical production, good clinical practice (GCP), good distribution practice and much more.

Why should you join us now?

Many companies expect graduates from the life sciences to have GMP experience. In the pharmaceutical industry in particular, this is a key requirement for applicants. However, this is rarely if ever taught at universities. For this reason, we offer an online course for beginners and advanced students in which this knowledge is taught. 

Are you also studying at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg and would like to find out more about btS Erlangen? Then we cordially invite you to a relaxed evening at Galileo. We look forward to telling you more about our activities at btS Erlangen and how you can excel there over a drink and snacks.

We will meet on October 23 at 7 pm at Galileo (Calvinstraße 3, 910534 Erlangen).

We look forward to meeting you!

Dear students, doctoral candidates and those interested in GxP! The path to a successful career in the life sciences often leads through in-depth knowledge of “good working practice”, or GxP for short. The btS and the Pharmaakademie would like to support you with a five-day GxP training course to help you realize your dreams and career goals in the diverse areas within industry, clinical research and pharmacovigilance!

The GxP courses via video conference will start on September 25, 2023. The following contents will be taught in the GxP training: Good Laboratory Practice / GLP, Good Clinical Practice / GCP, Good Manufacturing Practice / GMP and Good Pharmacovigilance Practice / GVP.

Here are a few more reasons why you should attend this GxP course:

The requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice are vast and complex. The GxP topics are also mandatory for the industry to implement. Our GxP course provides you with the necessary basic knowledge at an early stage so that you can confidently and competently maintain an overview in your day-to-day work.

Interdisciplinary know-how: Good working practice is not just limited to one sector. With GxP knowledge, you can shape your career in various areas of the life sciences - be it in the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology or medical technology.

Opening the door to your dream career: many companies require GxP skills when hiring you so that you can lead exciting projects. After successfully passing a multiple-choice exam, you will receive a certificate of completion from the Pharmaakademie for your application portfolio.

Start your success story with the GxP course at the Pharmaakademie and secure your place on the course early! You can find more information in the Pharmaakademie store.

Many life sciences students rarely learn about the business management behind production during their studies. However, basic knowledge of business administration, especially management, is extremely useful for starting a career.

The HOX Life Sciences Academy's online seminar “Business Administration for Entry into the Pharmaceutical and Biotech Industry” will teach you this knowledge via MS Teams.

The course starts on Tuesday, 26.09.23 and takes place over 12 weeks from 7 pm to 9 pm. In order to make the course interactive, the number of participants is limited to 35.

In 12 units of 120 minutes each, get to know the most important aspects using the example of the value chain in drug development, in which, in addition to the individual steps, the professions behind the tasks are also presented.

A fee of €250 is charged for the entire course, but after pre-registration there will be a free introductory meeting to evaluate whether the course can really offer the individual added value. Only then does the registration become binding.  It is possible to divide the costs for the course into two partial invoices, so that €125 is paid at the start of the course and €125 after 6 units.

At the end of the course, a one-hour final interview for CV optimization and career advice is included. Once you have successfully completed the course, you will also receive a certificate, which will make you stand out on the job market; many companies look for previous knowledge of business administration when applying.

Take part and invest in yourself and your career.
