Training in Ireland
Finding the right talent and skills is a constant and growing challenge for companies and organisations working in biopharmaceuticals manufacturing and development, and is even more acute in the area of advanced therapeutics. Higher education and training institutes across Ireland have invested in developing a wide range of life sciences courses across many disciplines, from level 6 (Certificate) up to level 10 (PhD), and these have helped position Ireland as a hot-bed of life-science talent development.
There has been a growing focus, in response to the market need, on the development of courses oriented towards ATMPs. In this section of the Advanced Therapeutics Ireland portal, you will find details of every relevant life-science course and targeted ATMP-related course available across Ireland’s third level education and training institutes.
