This unique Post Graduate Diploma course is delivered by the Griffith Innopharma Faculty of Science and is a blend of medical device technology and business.
The Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Device Technology & Business is a blended learning programme, delivered through evening class room learning supported by live online broadcasts and weekend group work.
The course will focus on core competencies such as medical device classification, device design cycle, manufacturing, quality systems & regulations, biocompatibility, operational excellence, lean sigma, emerging trends in medical devices, medical device measurement and analysis, strategic thinking and professional development.
We have two intakes for this course throughout the year, commencing in January and September.
This course offered me a variety of skills from the business operations perspective, management and operational behaviour. It was a great to complete the degree in only 10 months. As pharma industry is rapidly growing in Ireland, I would advise anyone to take the opportunity to develop new skills for this dynamic industry.
I have been offered a paid contract role in the Projects department of Glaxo Smith Kline Beecham in Dungarvan. This is proof in the pudding that the course has been a huge success for me; once I get into this field, I shouldn't have any problem applying for other roles within the Pharmaceutical/Medical Device sector.
