What We Do

In the ever-evolving landscape of the Life Sciences sector, we know collaboration is key. As new medical discoveries and technology advancements emerge, the demand for unique skillsets grows. This makes it really important for education to stay up-to-date. We know dealing with current skills gaps and anticipating future needs is complex. It cannot be solved by a single organisation or individual. Our purpose at iEd is to bridge the gap between academia and industry, by designing programmes that meet and predict the changing needs of the field. By bringing the experts together, we can educate a new generation of graduates and give them the skills industry needs.

Industry-Ready T-Shaped Professionals

We’re committed to providing Life Sciences industries with a pipeline of talent that brings specialised knowledge to organisations. Our programmes go beyond conventional education. Using pilot scale industrial equipment, cutting edge technology and spaces, and research-based teaching and learning approaches, our programmes create professionals with a variety of skills that meet the sector’s complex needs.

Not only do our graduates have technical expertise, but they also have the transversal skills to collaborate effectively across disciplines. This ensures innovative solutions and a dynamic approach to industry challenges.

Why T-shaped professionals? Because they are not just employees. They are collaborators, leaders, and innovators who can drive organisations forward.

Industry Partners

We work closely with our industry partners to identify what skills they need now and in the future. Then, we co-design education solutions to address those skills needs.

Programmes and Courses

We offer a range of academic programmes and courses including Certificates, Diplomas, and Masters. Each are designed to uniquely prepare students for a career in the Life Sciences sector.
