Management for the life-sciences sector — R&D pipelines, IP and licensing, regulatory strategy, manufacturing and commercialisation — for scientists moving into leadership.
Mada University for Science & Technology teaches this award to one academic standard whether you study on campus in Warsaw or on the tuition-free online pathway. Assessment is identity-checked; the marking scheme does not change with your postcode. This is an academic Master's award; where a field has a licensing or registration route, that remains a matter for your professional body or regulator.
You will work through the material as a practitioner-researcher: applied methods, real or anonymised cases, and a supervised capstone or dissertation as the final component. Faculty mark whether you noticed the constraints a slide deck usually hides.
MSc Biotechnology & Life Sciences Management is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 24 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from Principles of Management & Leadership through Principles of Management & Leadership; Managerial Economics; Financial & Managerial Accounting; Marketing Management; Corporate Finance & Financial Management; Organisational Behaviour & HR Management, and finish on Strategic Consulting Capstone.
Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students diagnose one organisation and carry a decision through to a recommendation. Reading is a case, a short financial extract, and a stakeholder note. The artefact a marker expects is a consulting brief a manager could use.
The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Set direction with a defensible strategy and connect it to an operating plan Read the numbers — accounting, finance, unit economics — well enough to challenge them Lead people and change through ambiguity
Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass.
The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
The programme carries 36 credits across four assessed modules. Delivery is tuition-free (0) on the online pathway. Transcripts use letter grades and a GPA scale consistent with Mada University for Science & Technology awards. No professional-body logo is used in marketing to imply endorsement.
