What our alumni say
In 2002, Sherif decided to embark upon a journey to the UK to aid his dream of becoming a pharmacist. After searching in his home country of Canada, he encountered a lack of options in his chosen field and branched out to the idea of higher education overseas.
"For many years, I knew I wanted to be a pharmacist. With this in mind, I applied to the University of Toronto here in Canada but there was a waiting list, as it was the only school of pharmacy in Ontario at the time.
I did a lot of research and emailed lots of schools. I started talking to Dr Peter Elliot at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) in the UK and I loved how the program was structured compared to the one in Toronto.” Read more about Sherif's LJMU experience.
