Most regulatory professionals are graduates in a scientific discipline – commonly life sciences or pharmacy – although increasingly biotechnology-based degrees are valuable. Some choose to have an additional legal qualification, and TOPRA offers an MSc in Regulatory Affairs for those who wish to gain a formal professional qualification in the discipline.The ability to tackle data in a wide range of scientific areas and to quickly grasp new concepts and complex technical information is vital.
Communication skills are very important.Analysing issues and presenting both written and oral evidence before a panel of experts such as scientists, pharmacists, doctors and lawyers who run the government agencies require considerable understanding of both legal and scientific matters. An attention to detail is a pre-requisite.
