Objectives and competences

Recently, the biohealth industry has seen exponential growth with health products and food supplements. These products have become highly regulated with the European regulations EU 2017/745 and EU 2017/746, which implies the implementation of innovations in their quality management, and all these procedures (and others described in related ISO standards) are worked on in the postgraduate course in a practical way. Additionally, the postgraduate course incorporates differential modules such as project management or the drafting of the technical documentation of a real practical case.
