The transformation of novel science into successful business ventures (the development of new products and processes) is key to the long term profitability of the world's chemical and related industries.
This goal requires scientists who possess a critical combination of technical and business skills. Increasingly, such individuals are playing a pivotal role in today's knowledge-driven economy by enhancing existing businesses and by setting up new ventures themselves. Could you be one of these special people?
The MSc in Chemistry and Entrepreneurship is an innovative course offered by the School of Chemistry in conjunction with the Nottingham University Business School.
The course aims to provide you with an appreciation of the interrelationships between fundamental research and its commercial exploitation.
You will be able to take advantage of the course´s flexible structure to develop an understanding of specific areas of modern chemistry and to become fluent in the financial, marketing and managerial aspects of modern business.
You will also acquire the technological and business background to enable you to make a significant contribution to today´s chemistry-based, technology-driven economy.
