Are you curious about creating bio-polymers (plastics) and biofuels from municipal or agricultural waste? If you're considering a career in pharmaceuticals or biotechnology, our Biochemical Engineering MSc might be the perfect choice. This program emphasizes fundamental biochemical engineering principles that help transform life science breakthroughs into practical processes and products. You'll gain expertise in advanced engineering techniques (including bioprocess design, bioreactor engineering, and downstream processing), cutting-edge life science methods (such as molecular biology, vaccine development, and microfluidics), plus crucial business and regulatory understanding (covering management, quality assurance, and commercialization).
This course is designed for science graduates with backgrounds in applied biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, chemistry, microbiology, pharmacy, or similar fields. Engineering graduates typically come from chemical/biochemical engineering, process engineering, or related disciplines.
The MSc provides specialized pathways for both science and engineering graduates, determined by their undergraduate qualifications. Your specific route will be assigned by the admissions tutor based on your prior academic background.

Qualification Requirements
Normal entry requirements are at least a second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university or the equivalent from an approved overseas institution. Candidates offering recent industrial experience are also encouraged to apply. As with any engineering discipline numeracy skills are important for the quantitative description of biological and physical phenomena. Evidence of numerical ability is requested as either an A level in Mathematics (or in exceptional cases, in Physics) or some mathematics studied at university. The department provides mathematics tutoring for Master's students throughout the year adjusted to a candidate's ability. The English language level for this programme is: Level 1
