What is the best course for me? What should I choose M.Sc or MBA in pharma-biotechnology or MBA in other fields?

It is purely based on your area of interest. If you want to continue and enhance your technical skills and knowledge, then M.Sc. Is a good option. If you are inclined to learn the management, then MBA is best suited for you. MBA in biotechnology fields also have a very bright scope, like in pharmaceutical, agriculture, horticulture and many more.

This would depend on your interest areas and career aspirations. In case you intend to pursue a career in Technical / research / academics area, then M.Sc is better. However, if you want to move into general management the MBA is better.

Hello, This totally depends on the intensity of your interest shifted towards either research field or business domain during your graduation in biotechnology. Yes, Pharma biotechnology is the emerging field. No doubt, if you want to mingle both your business and biology bent of mind, then this will prove beneficial for you. Otherwise, if want to explore MBA other than biotechnology than still many fascinating paths are present. All the best.

If you are looking for just a high paying job, then MBA in Finance, HR etc. is better option. If you are looking for good paying job in pharmacy, then MBA in Pharmacy is better option. If you are looking forward to pursue research or lectureship then pursue M.Sc.
