Programme Overview
The Diploma in Strategic Growth (Biotech & Pharma) is designed to equip executives in the field of life sciences with the knowledge, skills, tools, techniques and strategic perspective required to effectively analyse and manage complex problems. Led by an esteemed group of academics and experts, the programme reflects the critical belief that companies who succeed in the face of challenges will do so by placing renewed emphasis on innovation.
The life sciences industry is fast moving and complex. Now more than ever, the world is looking on with anticipation. The pandemic has put a focus on drug development and we have put our faith in the pharmaceutical industry to come up with a vaccine. In this webinar, Professor Jan Rosier discusses the changing landscape of the life science industry and argues that the pharmaceutical industry is at a turning point in its history both from digitalization and CoVID-19.
