Beschreibung des Angebots

The Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) is a postgraduate qualification awarded by universities and corresponds to at least 10 ECTS (credit points).

Translational medicine is a new, process-oriented discipline that aims to translate new findings and products emerging from private-sector development and basic research into clinical applications. It seeks to professionalize the essential interaction between basic science researchers, clinicians, regulatory bodies and investors.

This study program is designed to train professionals in scientific and medical knowledge, and simultaneously in entrepreneurship skills to enable them to successfully coordinate the development and commercialization of biomedical products. The program is open for all academic disciplines. For academics without a background in natural science, engineering or medicine, a special module «Prerequisites» has been developed.

The CAS  is a one-year part-time program, throughout which the theoretical knowledge acquired is directly and specifically applied to an individual startup or venture project you are working on. The submission of a business plan is integral part to complete the module.
