This unique Masters Degree Course is delivered by the Griffith Innopharma Faculty of Science and blends the subjects of pharmaceutical technology and business.
The MSc in Pharmaceutical Business and Technology is conducted over a 1-2 year period and is available on both a full and part-time basis. The course will focus on core competencies such as pharmaceutical processes and production, pharmaceutical business introduction & technology transfer, emerging trends, operational excellence (Lean & Six Sigma), regulatory affairs, data analytics, strategic thinking and leadership development.
We have two intakes for this course, commencing in the spring and autumn.
My course really gave me a broad understanding of what the industry wants and needs, as well as how I can adapt my skills to work within the industry, and I think it's really paid off. From what I've heard, there is no other master's programme like it. I really think that if I hadn't done this course, I wouldn't be where I am. I couldn't have the job that I am in now.
I did my master's in Pharmaceutical Business & Technology with Innopharma, and now I am working as a manufacturing operator in Mylan. I'd definitely say I was able to get this position thanks to my training with Innopharma. Mylan is a great company, and Innopharma helped me get here.
Note: A full-time schedule is two taught semesters (60 credits) and one dissertation semester (30 credits).
