Past Learning
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
I learned many thoughts and bio-skills in the first year, Furthermore, I also try to improve my communicated skills with people in English. In the following years, I came up with many projects with my previous experiences, and then I started to focus on some potential projects. Now, I have published an SCI paper in my field and also have running issues on revision.

In the first and second year of university, I learned basic sciences like general chemistry. Then, I learned pharmaceutical sciences. Now in my fifth year, I've learned a lot of clinical practices. Every time I learned new knowledge, I feel closer to a professional pharmacist. I love my school.
