Here’s to the future!
The Trainee Master's Program we offer with the Knowledge Foundation @ Reutlingen University is an excellent start to a successful career. It’s also a challenging one, especially when it comes to exams. Completing the two-year program is something to be proud of. And because Vetter, too, is proud of its students, we threw them a big party to celebrate.
The graduation ceremony that was held on November 15 began with a champagne reception for the participants and their parents, partners, and friends. The official part at 6:30 pm were met with 115 smiling faces. Managing Director Peter Sölkner gave a welcome address, followed by remarks from Prof. Dr. Alexander Schuhmacher from the Knowledge Foundation and Program Representative Clemens Wels. They reminisced on the Master’s Program and looked forward to a promising future. After all, with their all-round expertise, the graduates are now sought-after in the pharmaceutical industry.
The official ceremony continued with the presentation of the diplomas as well as thank-you gifts for the Knowledge Foundation representatives and concluded with a group photo. And then it was time to celebrate! Finger food and drinks garnished the gathering at 8:30 p.m. And that was just the start – the celebrations continued well into the night with an after-party in the center of Ravensburg.
The Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Science & Business graduation ceremony was a fitting finale to a special time. We look forward to celebrating the October trainees, as they graduate in two years’ time.
Theory or practice? Why not both!
Our Trainee Master's Program
How to gain valuable knowledge and work experience at one of Germany's largest pharmaceutical service providers? The Trainee Master's Program. Participants build up expertise in pharmacy, technology, and business administration at Reutlingen University and take on exciting challenges while completing part-time internships in various departments at Vetter. Students develop their skills within the innovative pharmaceutical landscape while acquiring in-depth knowledge of the company and the industry. This bridging of the gap between the theoretical and the practical is accompanied by excursions and a targeted exchange with Vetter experts.
