With only a handful of courses across the country addressing this gap, this is the first of its kind in Wales. Therefore, it is important for the strong bio-innovation sector in Wales that this gap is addressed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This programme was designed to&nbsp;meet the growing demand for leadership, innovation and strategic management skills in the life sciences and biotechnology sectors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who is this course ideal for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course is open to those working in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Health and social care<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Life sciences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bio-engineering<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The specialist modules enable students to develop advanced management and leadership skills that are used to create sustainable value and deliver impactful outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How is the course structured?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course is run part-time over two years, beginning with core MBA modules in first year and progressing to specialist life sciences and innovation content in the second year. A research project is integrated into both years of study, allowing the students to apply their new skills in research to an ongoing project or area of research relevant to their employer or a local company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an interdisciplinary programme, which will be taught across both Singleton Campus and Bay Campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What modules can students expect?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the course, students will benefit from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Industry advisory input<\/strong><br>Representatives from NHS Wales, Cardiff &amp; Vale UHB, and partner organisations in digital health, biotechnology, and other high-reliability industries will help develop modules and sessions.
