Introduction to regulatory requirements and quality standards for life science

This course is a general introduction to the regulatory environment students will meet in various types of jobs, both in industry and in public institutions in the life science area. For students applying for such jobs, it is crucial to understand the terminology and be familiar with terms and standards in order to appear relevant.

Registration is closed.

 

The life science industry in Norway is growing, and it is important for industry to get hold of motivated employees with the right competence and understanding. The course also aims to give the students a good understanding related to the reasons why such standards have been developed, and how they add value to the end users and to society. Only by understanding the overall objectives of regulatory and quality requirements, employees will be motivated to do their best to comply with the standards.
