This is what a former participant gained from the Diploma:

"It has been both challenging and educational, and I can use elements from the courses in the Pharma Consultant Diploma in my daily work as Key Account Manager at Novo Nordisk - in addition to gaining insight into several other disciplines. I recommend the Pharma Consultant Diploma to people who want to gain a deeper understanding of what goes on in the different departments in the industry. There are also good opportunities to expand your network among colleagues in other companies when you follow each other through the diplomam courses."
