Here is a few of the most asked questions to us about he EPSA. If you need to ask a more specific question, feel free to contact us.
Unfortunately, the internships are meant only for pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences students. Students from any other specializations, such as pharmacy technician, medicine, physiotherapy, etc., or as pharmacy technicians are not eligible.
The internship itself is free, but you need to cover your traveling, living and usually also your accommodation and insurance cost by yourself.
Unfortunately not, but you can contact your university and the hospitals you are interested in and find out if you can apply for an Erasmus+ grant. Please find more information here. You can also search for other grants provided for example by your local/national authorities/associations.
Send in a complete Intern Application Form – A complete Intern Application Form is the requirement for you to come into contact with the hospital you want to do the internship at.
Send in the internship agreement information – After you agree with the hospital on the details surrounding your internship, let the Platform Coordinator know. This is a condition for you receiving your certificate.
Total length of studies and number of ECTS credits – Please provide us here with the list of total ECTS of the study programme you are enrolled in, not only the ECTS you have completed by now.
Contact person – Any professor from your faculty can be your contact person and sign the recommendation letter.
No, you are required to have a contact person at your previous faculty, who commits to writing a recommendation letter for your internship and following your internship together with you. This requirement is needed in order for the applicant to be deemed suitable to apply for an internship and to help ensure that the internship runs as smoothly as possible.
Hospitals have stated their language requirements in the Hospital Database. For further information, please contact intern@eahp.eu.
Please follow the steps here carefully.
You might be able to find a hospital who can offer you a placement with a short notice, but it is recommended to contact hospitals well in advance because the process of arranging the internship placement can last for several months and you might need to wait for the answer from the hospital pharmacy in the first place. Please see the availability of hospitals in the Hospital Database.
The database is up to date to the best of EAHP’s knowledge. Hospitals are encouraged to report if the placements are no longer available to the EAHP Platform Coordinator at intern@eahp.eu.
Please take into consideration that the EAHP Platform Coordinator might need to wait several weeks for the answer from the hospital pharmacy. If you do not receive any answer to your application within a month, please contact EAHP Platform Coordinator at intern@eahp.eu.
No, you can’t apply to more than one hospital at the same time.
Yes, provided you still fulfill the conditions for the application (student or young graduate who graduated within the past 2 years) and send us all the required documents.
