About the role
Ipsen has a long-standing commitment to promoting careers in science and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), and has a variety of graduate and apprenticeship schemes open to young people with a passion for science. Ipsen is looking across its UK and Ireland business to ensure career opportunities are equal to people from all backgrounds.
Ipsen's first graduate programme began in October 2018 from our Wrexham site. Two graduates began our 24-month training programme, supporting the Manufacturing Technical and Quality Aseptic functions. Our graduates benefitted from the full insight into both the manufacturing and quality processes at our site.
In September 2020 we welcomed our first three graduates onto the Specialty Care Graduate Development Programme. The 18 months spent with Ipsen enabled them to rotate through three departments for six months at a time, gaining insights into functions such as Business and Customer Excellence, Corporate Affairs, Medical Affairs, Finance and Marketing.
The graduate programme continues within our commercial business, developing and furthering young talent within the pharmaceutical industry. In September 2024 we welcomed our latest intake of graduates who will spend 18 months in Marketing, Business & Customer Excellence, and External Affairs.
