This course will provide you with a flavour of the ways in which scientific and biomedical ideas and discoveries can be developed, commercialised and capitalised upon. Although it is open to all, it is most suited to those with a biology background.
The course will allow you to understand the issues associated with the business of biomedical science.
The main aim of this introductory course, however, is to broaden your scientific horizons by gaining an awareness of the associated non-science issues, allowing for scientific discoveries to be viewed and appreciated in their proper context.
This is the first in a 3-course option (year 1/2, year 3 and year 4) that can lead to you obtaining your BSc in a discipline of Medical Science with Bio-Business and open up a whole new range of career options for you. However, this Introduction also aims to open up new ways of thinking and seeing biomedical discoveries, and is designed to be of value to all students with an inquiring mind, who see possibilities where others see challenges.
