This course has a start date in September
This course is designed for both UK/EU and International students with a background in a relevant biological discipline, who wish to learn more about the theory and practice of crop biotechnology but who wish to learn and practice the business skills that will allow them to pursue careers in a crop biotechnology business environment.
The new knowledge driven economy needs people with technical knowledge and also the skills to commercialise cutting edge research. Such people work in management within existing companies,particularly at the technical-business interface or may take the exiting opportunity to set up their own business venture. Thus interdisciplinary, stand alone MSc degree course provides a new pattern of graduate training.
Candidates will be selected from graduates holding at least an upper second class honours (or equivalent) degree in a relevant subject e.g. biology, biotechnology, crop science which provides sufficient background for the course. Relevant workplace experience may, in some circumstances, be accepted as qualification for entry.

Successful completion of a full-time pre-sessional English Language course for International students run by the Centre for English Language Education at the University of Nottingham will also be acceptable.
