The course has given me the fundamental business, economic, legal, marketing and management skills required to contribute to the process of commercialisation.Its core objective was to expose us to industry to utilise our theory and skills in a practical sense via a commercialisation project which ran concurrently with our theory units throughout the year. This experience clearly highlighted the differences between expectations from industry and academia, also better preparing us for employment.
The course equipped me with knowledge and skills which allow me to bridge the gap between researchers and industry or other external organisations such as government agencies. Together with providing me with a broad understanding of concepts in research, management and strategy, it expanded my planning skills and developed my critical thinking and communication skills.
I would definitely recommend it to any science or technology graduate who enjoyed their course yet feels unsure about taking the research path. This course opens the doors to many and varied employment opportunities.
