Biomedical Sciences Schools and Programs in Spain

International University of Catalonia

In society today, the biomedical sector is going through significant growth. In recent years Spain has started to be considered a benchmark in the South of Europe because of the promotion of biomedical research via the creation of science and technology parks. The science and technology parks, along with a number of biomedical companies that are mostly focused on human health, offer an unbeatable setting for professionals who wish to work in basic research or who would like to switch their knowledge to business practices. According to a 2015 report by the Catalan University Quality Assurance Agency, the biomedical sector is going through significant growth and brings together jobs that are in huge demand and this, according to Barcelona City Council is especially the case in the field of pharmaceutical marketing, clinical development and genetic analysis. Contemporary data obtained from the Catalan University Quality Assurance Agency indicates that the 2017 employability rate was around 86%.
