Life Sciences Enterprise Projects
Development of a new type of final year project in the Faculty of Life Sciences. Students will identify an area of life sciences in which there is potential for a hypothetical new product. After receiving didactic and EBL-based training in business methodology from the Manchester Science Enterprise Centre (MSEC), teams of students will conduct market research and formulate a business plan for their product. We anticipate that this will improve students' understanding of how businesses are structured and the skills required to be an entrepreneur and develop students' independent learning and decision making skills.
