Sofia Morales
,
I ended up in this master because I wanted to have an overview of all the pharma industry. I had the opportunity to start working with a pharmaceutical company one month before the delivery of the final project was it totally worth it.

One of the key values of EADA is a commitment to personal development. I was challenged to find out what drives you and who you want to be. EADA's methodology challenges you to speak up and share your opinion in class discussions.The faculty and students from all over the world meant that I was constantly exposed to new perspectives. This translated into great opportunities for networking, both inside and outside of EADA.
