Graduated in 2021

Shengda Hou studied MSc Pharmaceutical Engineering and is now working in big pharma in China.

Why did you choose this course?

I have studied in a similar area during undergraduate, and I want to gain more knowledge about pharmaceutical technology. In the University of Sheffield, a pilot plant in the Diamond which could manufacture tablets with industry scale called "Consigma 25" attracts me a lot.

What have you enjoyed most about your course so far?

The advanced experimental equipment is allowed to operate, which enriches my practical experience. More importantly, the supervisor is patient and responsible, who also has strong expertise and experience in this research area. Professional guidance could be given when we encountering difficulties during the research. Group meeting will be held every week to review the working progress that the supervisor and his assistant will make detailed individual comment on the assignment submitted by the from the previous week when doing the research project. I really enjoy the weekly meeting that everyone can make discussion and share opinions together and learn from each other.

What do you think about Sheffield as a city?

Sheffield is a city where industry meets nature. The sunset there is beautiful. Some pleasant parks are located near the city where you can meet many kind old man as well as some cute animals. It's a good approach to relax yourself in the park.

I am currently working in pharmaceutical industry in China. I may choose to have further study if possible
