Student Exchange Programme

The adventure starts here!

The Student Exchange Program (SEP) is IPSF's largest project, offering pharmacy students from around the world the opportunity to gain experience through professional internships in the pharmaceutical industry. Each year, a growing number of students from around the world have the opportunity to complete two- to four-week internships in community pharmacies, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, factories, and pharmaceutical faculties. Most internships take place between June and September.

Embark on an incredible adventure with the International Pharmaceutical Students' Federation and the Polish Pharmaceutical Students' Association. Here, we present documents, opinions, and advice that will guide you through all the formalities and help you have the best possible exchange experience.

I want to leave!

Great! The decision to travel is the first, but most important, step. But first, a few important pieces of information: only members of the Polish Pharmaceutical Students' Association (PTSF) who have entered at least their second year of studies at the time of application can apply for an IPSF internship under the Student Exchange Program. This is due to the nature of the internship and the requirements set by the institutions hosting students. During their studies, each PTSF member has the right to participate in the SEP exchange program as many times as they wish.


Recruitment for the Student Exchange Programme takes place once per academic year at each PTSF Branch. Detailed information is available from local coordinators (Local Exchange Officers) during organizational meetings at the Local Branches.
