Overview

This Master of Science in Technology and Manufacturing from the National Institute For Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT) aims to provide scientists and engineers with a comprehensive grounding in critical aspects of ATMP cell therapy and vector manufacturing and quality control / quality affairs.

Key Facts

The programme will allow participants to develop the competencies and key skills to be employed in technical, quality and manufacturing roles within the growing ATMP industry.

By participating in the programme, students will develop an understanding of the facts, concepts, principles, theories and methods associated with cell therapy and vector manufacturing in the context of the ATMP industry.

Careers

The programme was conceived in response to consultation with NIBRT on the expansion of the ATMP sector in Ireland, and the need for structured educational offerings aimed to upskill / cross skill staff in existing biopharmaceutical science jobs. The course content was developed closely with NIBRT and in response to industry input and feedback.

This programme is aimed at manufacturing, quality, engineering and regulatory personnel who are looking to increase their understanding and application of ATMP technologies. It will provide a postgraduate qualification in the area of ATMP manufacturing that will form both an introduction for new or proposed entrants to the area and additional skills and knowledge to those working in the area. This course will give them the opportunity to move upwards to leadership roles.
