Master of Business Development

The Life Science-specialisation is part of Master of Business Development and consists of three courses customised for you, who work within the Pharma-, BioTech-, and MedTech-business and is looking to:

1. Update and strengthen your business development and innovation competencies.
2. Receive training based on models, frameworks and cases, which are adapted to fit the challenges, you are facing, together with teachers and guest lecturers, who have solid knowledge and experience with the business.
3. Build upon your professional and personal network by studying with others, who work within the same field, and recognize the challenges you as a leader in this business are facing.

The Pharma-, BioTech-, and MedTech-business is characterised by an array of challenges. For example, competition from new markets, convergence between technology and Pharma-industries, as well as the regulation and cost-benefit focus of the authorities, which makes access to markets more difficult. This and much more are challenges, which require a special focus on developing competencies, which can make it easier for you as a leader to work within these circumstances.

The specialisation consists of three courses: 

• Business Development of the Life Sciences
• Managing Open Innovation in the Life Sciences
• Life Science Markets
   

The specialisation is divided into three semesters with one course per semester. The first course begins in May 2021. Each course consists of four days of lectures, and it is up to you, if you want to take the courses collectively or as single courses. That depends on you and your needs.

The specialisation is accredited and is part of the broader Master of Business Development. The three courses comprising the specialisation make up 16 ECTS-points, whereas the entire MBD-education is 60 ECTS-points. If you wish to enrol in the full MBD, the courses Business Development of the Life Sciences and Managing Open Innovation in the Life Sciences replace the mandatory course Business Development and the core course Managing Open Innovation.

If you are curious for more, when you have completed the courses within the Life Science-specialisation, you can easily enrol in other courses within Master of Business Development. You can read more about the rest of the MBD here
