The IPSF Student Exchange Programme (SEP)
The IPSF Student Exchange Programme (SEP) is IPSF's largest project, offering professional pharmacy internships. Every year, approximately 1000 students around the world are given the opportunity to experience pharmacy practice in more than 80 different countries.
Our IPSF Member Organisations organise the exchanges by finding host sites where the students are trained. The programme runs throughout the year (Winter version and Summer version), but the majority of the exchanges take place between May and September.

The length is usually 2 weeks up to 3 months with a minimum of 40 working hours per exchange, and possible host sites include:
- Community pharmacy;
- Hospital pharmacy;
- Clinical pharmacy;
- Wholesale pharmacy;
- Pharmaceutical industry;
- Research at university;
- Government or private health agencies.
During exchange, participants can share and developpharmaceutical knowledge and skills. At the same time, this is a unique opportunity to experience new cultures, try different food, meet friends, learn new languages, visit beautiful places and enjoy your vacations by enriching yourself in different ways.
