Abstract
This essay will review the business and government policies relevant to the biopharmaceutical sector which influence higher education programs. The mechanisms which enable higher education to adapt to policy will be summarised and the pace of the response estimated.
Higher education (HE) programs need to respond in a timely manner to dynamic industries to maximise opportunities for graduates and support the Irish economy. The author manages internships and teaches on pharmaceutical science programs and aims to ensure the program is current to maximise student success. This review intends to identify the most relevant policy sources that can inform the Pharmaceutical Science program and identify policy enabling strategies to use on an ongoing basis and in future programmatic review. Relevant policy and strategy documents include those relating to Irelands investment strategies and target sectors, future skills needs, industry input into programs and TU Dublin academic framework publications. The mechanism by which programs adapt to changes in government and industry policy is through university programmatic review processes which are published in the university academic framework documents (TU Dublin, 2021). These TU Dublin academic framework will be reviewed to understand the mechanisms in place that enable incorporation of policies through program revisions and how to apply them appropriately in the future. The strategies in place that enable HE to address business and government policy will be explored to assess the agility and practicalities for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to react to changing needs. This study will identify the correct sources for future reference and familiarise me with the academic policies required for future tasks.
