a better understanding about career opportunities in pharmacology

The program was attended by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Toan, Vice Provost of the DTU College of Medicine & Pharmacy; MSc Nguyen Cong Kinh, Deputy Head of the CMP Office of External Relations; MSc Nguyen Thi Thuy Trang, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy; and a large number of lecturers and students from the Faculty of Pharmacy. From Mega Lifesciences, there were Mr Doan Duy Quoc, Business Development Manager; Ms Nguyen Nu Nga My, Area Sales Manager for Central Vietnam; and specialists responsible for recruitment and HR development.

Information about industry development trends and corporate recruitment

needs shared during the program will help students proactively acquire the knowledge and skills they need

As the pharmaceutical industry continues to develop with increasing participation from both domestic and international companies, it is becoming vital that students obtain specialized knowledge, an understanding of the labor market, and professional skills. The program “2026 Career Guidance in Pharmacy” was organized to provide DTU students with additional information on industry development trends, professional training, recruitment needs, and employment opportunities after graduation.

During the program, people from Mega Lifesciences introduced the company’s origins, development, and operations in pharmacology and healthcare. Founded in 1982, Mega Lifesciences is headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand, with operations in 32 countries and more than six thousand employees. The company began operating in Vietnam in 1995 and has gradually expanded its operations across many regions of the country.

“2026 Career Guidance in Pharmacy” also gave students an opportunity

to gain a better understanding of actual work environments in pharmacology

A key highlight of the program was a presentation on career orientation and the essential skills needed to work in pharmacology. Drawing on his practical experience in business development, Mr Duy Quoc, Business Development Manager at Mega Lifesciences, shared insights from the corporate environment, giving students a better understanding of available career opportunities and the expectations placed on the pharmacology workforce today.

In addition to specialized knowledge, skills such as communication, presentation, teamwork, adaptability, and a proactive willingness to learn are also essential for students preparing to enter the labor market. The presentations gave students a better foundation for identifying their strengths, choosing suitable career paths, and developing study and training plans while still at university. In particular, learning about the working environment at a multinational pharmaceutical company like Mega Lifesciences broadened the students’ perspectives on career options in pharmacology. These extend beyond traditional professional roles and include related fields such as pharmaceutical business, pharmacy marketing, and management.

Beyond providing career information, the program also gave students time to speak with the people from Mega Lifesciences and ask questions about topics of interest, such as internship opportunities, recruitment, candidate qualifications, and the skills needed when applying at the company. This gave the students a clearer understanding of recruitment procedures, actual workplace environment, and the criteria the company prioritizes when selecting employees. This practical information helped students recognize the gaps between the knowledge they had been taught and workplace expectations, enabling them to proactively develop the additional skills they will need.

The information and experiences shared at “2026 Career Guidance in Pharmacy” provided valuable preparation for DTU students of Pharmacy as they plan their futures, strengthen their professional expertise and workplace skills, and get ready to adapt to the increasingly demanding requirements of the pharmacology labor market.
