Bioprocessing

At the start of the BSc in Bioprocessing, you’ll be introduced to the basic sciences, mathematics and data analytics. As you progress, you’ll delve more deeply into the fundamentals of both biology and bioprocessing, putting in place the foundations to be able to integrate these disciplines.
 

In third year, you’ll begin to focus on real-world bioprocessing problems and have the opportunity to spend nine months in industry as part of our industrial training programme.
 

In fourth year, you’ll continue to develop your ability to integrate biology and bioprocess engineering. You’ll complete an industry-focused research project and take part in a team-based product innovation challenge. You will also contribute to a research-focused journal club with your fellow students and your lecturers.

Graduates of the BSc in Bioprocessing will have the knowledge and skills to work as bioprocessing specialists in the biopharmaceutical, food, beverage, industrial enzyme, and microbial biotechnology sectors. With their in-depth knowledge of data analytics, process analytical technologies, and process automation and control, they will be equally capable of applying their skills to addressing processing challenges that arise in a wide range of non-bio sectors, including fine chemical processing, environmental management, and sustainability.
