About MSc in Crop Biotechnology and Entrepreneurship

This course can be completed one year full-time or two years part-time and is comprised of taught modules and a research project.

The programme requires you to take 60 credits of modules in crop biotechnology and 60 credits of business modules to gain a strong balance of subject-specific and business-related skills. You then undertake a 60-credit technology transfer project, where you apply your new business skills to a problem of commercialisation of a biotechnology opportunity.

In addition to the specific training and skills acquisition, the course is designed to develop transferable personal and professional skills necessary not only for completion of the course, but for future career development.
