Master of Science - Bioprocess Engineering

This Bioprocess Engineering MSc degree is an innovative course that has been developed to equip students with advanced and up-to-date knowledge in the bioprocessing field.

The focus of the programme is on providing students with a broad understanding of modern bioprocesses used in production, design and research. It covers the core biochemical engineering topics in depth and integrates all practical aspects relevant to bioprocess design and operation through the novel toolbox modules - project management; bioprocess safety; intellectual property; environmental, health and safety risks; sustainability - to produce well-rounded and sought after bioprocess engineers with a detailed insight into industrially relevant processes in biopharma and food industries and their integration.

Practical sessions will be based in the facilities of the Advanced Bioprocessing Centre where students’ll have access to four dedicated laboratories including a purpose-built, explosion-proof, pilot-scale lab. The latest industry standard engineering software packages are available for them to use in the computing facility.

This bioprocess engineering course has been developed in conjunction with accreditation guidelines of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). It is studied full-time over one year.
