About this course
The knowledge and skills you’ll develop in research will be supplemented by the business acumen you’ll gain through our business modules and the entrepreneurship elements of the course. Depending on your module choices, you will explore leadership and decision making, international business strategy, marketing, strategic and organisational management, and business start-ups – areas of particular importance in the biotech and biopharmaceutical sector.
You’ll also have the opportunity to develop your business skills during a bio-business project, where you will focus your business ideas on a promising bioscience research development, allowing you to apply what you have learned to a real life project.
Employers in the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries expect their postgraduate recruits to have advanced technical and communication skills, to be confident team-workers, independent researchers, good project-managers and be at the leading edge of their specialism. Our degree courses are designed to respond to these demands.
Our courses provide the framework which can set you on the path to careers embracing options such as clinical trial coordination, regulatory affairs, marketing, management, commercial practice and entrepreneurship. Our graduates can expect to work in small and large multinational companies in the biosciences sphere, or to continue in academic research.
You’ll be able to make use of the University's dedicated careers service to help you to confidently present yourself to the world's top employers.
Applicants should normally have, or expect to have, a first or upper second class BSc honours degree or an equivalent qualification in a scientific discipline in the field of biological, biochemical or biomedical sciences.
