Presentation
Sup’Biotech’s unique curriculum combines science and engineering coursework with management skills and industry-specific technical knowledge, preparing students for dynamic careers in research, management, and communication roles. Our graduates possess not only the expertise needed in STEM-based careers but the interpersonal and management skills to effectively deliver their message.
The summer program Cosmetics Product Development takes place on our campus from July 6 to July 25. Students come from around the world to study in English, go on our cultural trips and befriend other students from different cultures in an experience often described by participants as “unforgettable”. Our students also learn about the domestic and international biotechnology markets. Sup’Biotech’s professors come from diverse training and educational backgrounds, such as universities, research centers, and industry.
Sup’Biotech’s students are prepared for a wide range of responsibilities in various biotechnology and international corporations, working in the fields of health, cosmetics, the environment, pharmaceuticals, and agribusiness.
Cosmetics Product Development
The 200-billion-euro cosmetics industry is driven by innovation, quality, and results. Consumers that are increasingly aware of what they are buying have provoked a strategy change by cosmetics businesses to respond to changing customer expectations. Sup’Biotech believes that addressing this change will require both scientific and marketing expertise, and we are well-placed to provide this knowledge to students. Participants in the Cosmetics Product Development course will develop a product prototype for a target market that addresses a specific skin-based need, perform extensive market research, and develop a hypothetical commercialization approach to a new dermo-cosmetics product.
