Together the five of us have established SSES, our joint school devoted to offering our students education, training and inspiration in applied entrepreneurship. So, if you are a student of ours: a special welcome! If not, check out our events and seminars.
Master in Bioentrepreneurship
The Master programme in Bioentrepreneurship is tailored for students with a background in medicine, natural sciences or technology who wishes to apply this knowledge and work with the development and management of projects and companies in the life sciences field.
The core courses during the programme all revolve around the central themes of how to manage and develop life science companies. Participants will study the entrepreneurial process and the factors that drive innovation. They will learn how products in this highly regulated industry are developed with often long time spans and high costs. They will learn the specifics of the life science markets and how products are launched. They will also learn about business development and what drives the industry, such as collaborations, mergers and acquisitions.
A key concept within this programme is the application of knowledge in the real world. Therefore, many of the courses use real cases to learn from. Also, many of the lecturers are experienced business leaders who share their knowledge and experience.
