MPhil in Bioscience Enterprise

Designed for future bio-entrepreneurs and leaders in the life sciences, the MPhil in Bioscience Enterprise (MBE) develops the business and commercial skills needed to translate cutting-edge scientific innovations into successful products, services and ventures.

What you will learn

Explore the journey from scientific discovery to commercial success, developing your understanding of biotechnology, innovation, intellectual property, finance, healthcare economics, regulation, business strategy and entrepreneurship.
