Module Aims
On successful completion of this module students will understand how novel therapeutic strategies and technologies are translated from experimental models into marketable products.
This module is delivered through a range of lectures, seminars and workshops to encourage creativity on current biomedical problems and how research, legislation and commercialisation are all linked in the development process.
In engaging with the module, students will fully achieve the following level appropriate behaviour domains of the USW graduate attributes: -
Commercial Awareness: Behaviour 1,2, 3
Communication: Behaviour 1,2, 3
Leadership: Behaviour 1
Innovation and enterprise: Behaviour 1,2, 3
Project Management: Behaviour 1, 2
Digital Literacy: Behaviour 1, 2, 3
The capabilities associated with these behaviours are found in the graduate attributes listed at the end of the module descriptor.
