The training program will encompass level III and IV of undergraduate studies as well as a 12-month course-based Master’s program. The latter will include a 4-month internship in the health sciences sector. BDC will afford a unique educational experience for students seeking first-rate training in the biomedical sciences with an emphasis on drug discovery and development.
