environment within your area of expertise. A solid understanding of science
is essential to bring science-based products to the market. In the SBM
programme, you will build on your academic background in science while
adding knowledge of business processes and practical skills for commercial
settings.

Importantly, you will also focus on the strategic value and applicability of
scientific research. In the second year you will obtain business management
skills and learn about operations management, organization and strategic

management, marketing, economics, entrepreneurship and effective

communication in a business environment. You will apply your skills at the
final stage of the master, during an internship at a national or international
company of your choice. The internship must be sufficiently challenging and
is subject to approval by the coordinator.

Particularly important is the programme is the level of interaction between

their projects and will work closely together. A strong sense of community is
initiated by the programme. This makes SBM an inspiring master for open-
minded and ambitious students.
