Pharmaceutical and Food Science Technology



"Hi my name is Sarah Chesebrough. I'm in Pharmaceutical and Food Science Technology at Durham College. I chose this program because there is a lot of potential for different types of jobs, giving you a lot of career options. You can try the food industry out, and if you don't like that, you can work with drugs. You can also go into cosmetics, food inspections, and things of that nature."

"The best thing I like are the experiments, they are fun. There are things that you never realized about foods or pharmaceutics and all the different tests you can do. It's very interesting. You are constantly learning, constantly following different guidelines, everything is different every day."

"Another thing that's really good about this program is that the class sizes are really small, so you learn a lot from the professors. You get really close to all the professors and the students, it's a really close group. I've had lots of positive experiences with the professors, they are very helpful and polite. They are always there to help you and they really motivate you to be successful."
