ELIGIBILITY:

In order to qualify for the PMP, you must hold a university degree as a medical doctor. You should have passed post-graduate internship and have 2-5 years of clinical experience.

Documented scientific experience is not a prerequisite, but it is an advantage. The programme offers an introduction to the pharmaceutical industry and the applicant should not have prior industry experience.

You must have practical and analytical skills and be capable of working independently, while at the same time being able to excel in a cross-functional, multi-disciplinary team. Moreover, you should be prepared to travel and work in an international arena.

We expect that you are results-oriented, are good at setting priorities, that you have a broad perspective and an open-mind, and are able to challenge the status quo. Lastly, we expect you to have excellent English skills and be proficient in IT.

Novo Nordisk is an international company and welcomes international applicants for the PMP programme.  English is the official company language. It is not a requirement to speak Danish, but there will be opportunities to learn the language. Novo Nordisk will provide relocation aid and support to new international employees and their family. Over the years candidates from China, Australia, Portugal, UK, Italy, Germany, Poland, Albania, Sweden and Denmark have been accepted into the programme. 

BENEFIT:

As a PMP, you will receive support and mentoring from the PMP manager, who is responsible for your development throughout your time on the programme. You will also have a manager in each host department, who is responsible for your development in each rotation. 

The programme aims to educate you within applied clinical drug development, the workings of the pharmaceutical industry and to prepare you for a career within the company. This is primarily achieved through assuming responsibilities in your host department, and through a generous training programme.

On successful completion of the programme, together with the PMP manager you will identify a suitable permanent position, within one of the programme’s three sponsor areas, tailored to your interests and company needs.
