Master of Bioscience Enterprise (MBioEnt)

• Developed for students interested in commercial and legal aspects of bioscience.
• 6 month placement within the Business/Science sector which can lead to employment opportunities.
• Regular forums offered by senior industry practitioners

Business and science often seem like two different worlds. The Master of Bioscience Enterprise represents an interdisciplinary programme which aims to give science graduates the skills to move with confidence in both. You will gain skills in the financial, marketing and legal aspects of science which will prepare you for a wide range of job opportunities in science and business enterprises.

The programme also offers plenty of networking opportunities for students to meet practitioners and leaders from industry and business. Scientists graduating from this programme will be business-savvy and comfortable in a business environment, and may give a company a competitive edge or be the key to a successful start-up.

Both the Master of Bioscience Enterprise and the Postgraduate Diploma in Bioscience Enterprise were developed in partnership between the School of Biological Sciences (SBS), the Business School and the Law School.
