A strong emphasis on education and academic links forms an integral part of the Novartis Ireland outlook. With increasing demands for an educated workforce, Novartis Ireland has developed links with many of the universities and third level institutions across the country to ensure a high level of graduates in the disciplines of chemistry, engineering, science and more recently business, marketing and digital qualifications.

The Company has also placed an emphasis on early education and engages with local primary schools to provide children with a glimpse of life within the pharmaceutical sector across a wide range of roles.
