Summary
The MPhil in Bioscience Enterprise (MBE) programme is an intensive taught science and business course intended for those who have an interest in enterprise and the ambition to found technology companies or take up leadership, executive or consultancy roles in the life sciences sector.
The educational aims of the MBE are to:
-
enhance understanding of life sciences and related technological developments;
-
foster research and analytical skills and methodologies;
-
develop written and verbal communication skills;
-
provide knowledge of the ethical, legal and regulatory issues associated with bringing scientific advances to market; and
-
develop applied business skills, including those that enable students to:
-
identify potential business opportunities arising from research in life sciences and related areas;
-
exploit entrepreneurial opportunities; and
-
undertake senior executive roles within biotechnology companies and other commercial entities.
Learning includes real business examples, and lectures and case studies are frequently delivered by highly experienced professionals. MBE students have the opportunity to learn from leading scientists, entrepreneurs and academics at the University of Cambridge, and from professionals within the Cambridge Cluster and wider industry. The course is based in purpose-built, dedicated teaching facilities, providing an unparalleled educational experience.
Students completing this course usually start new technology ventures or continue their careers in the life sciences commercial sector, in specialist consulting firms, or in their existing professional sectors such as medicine or law. A number of graduates have successfully applied for PhD programmes in either science or business disciplines.
