Next Generation Workforce – Pick your Crew
Discover the Next Generation of talent being educated through the collaborative MSc in IB to meet the industry-need for graduate level employees with a broad grounding in the sector, which builds on their first degree knowledge. This unique qualification sees the students being taught at a variety of Scottish institutions renowned for their expertise in a specific discipline in an IB context. The MSc will prepare students for employment in careers such as Bioprocess Engineer; Fermentation Scientist; Research Scientist in a range of fields.
This event will be an opportunity for your organisation to meet a subset of our cohort who have opted for the “Blue Biotech” elective delivered at SAMS in a weeklong intensive course that sees them undertake a range of practical and theoretical classes to learn about algae, seaweed and the applications and implications of these rich resources. Can you afford to miss out on attracting this future talent?
