Diploma in Innovation ManagementBiotech students are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to concurrently enrol in the Diploma in Innovation Management. This 36UOC program, which students commence in their 2nd year of UNSW undergraduate study, was originally designed for biotech students to give them the skills and knowledge required to translate scientific discovery into new technologies, products and services (which is the essence of biotechnology). The program (study plans) is now administered and conferred by the Australian School of Business and is offered to high achieving undergraduate students university wide. Biotech students who complete the Diploma have improved competitiveness for gaining employment in a broad range of careers in science, management, and business. For further information please contact Dr Wallace Bridge, BABS academic and Diploma course coordinator (all INOV courses, SCOM2505, BABS3091). |
