49 BSc in Bioprocessing Discover the scientific and engineering bases at the heart of biopharmaceutical and related industries General Information The BSc in Bioprocessing is an interactive and dynamic course that will develop your knowledge and appreciation of biological sciences and engineering bases for bioprocess design and operation. Why Is It Exciting? Bioprocessing is at the heart of the biopharmaceutical and related industries. Bioprocessing involves the integrated application of biological sciences and bioprocess engineering principles to themanufacturing of pharmaceuticals, enzymes, food, and related products, on a commercial scale. This coursewill develop your understanding of the fundamental biological principles and methods involved in the development of newdrugs and related products. Youwill also come to understand the problems posed by the demands of large-scale production, youwill develop the bioprocess and biomolecular engineering knowledge and skills to solve those problems. As a budding bioprocessing specialist, youwill have a unique appreciation of the integrated nature of bioprocessing and you will be able to combine your knowledge of biochemistry, microbiology and genetics with your expertise in bioprocess control, data analysis and processmodelling and simulation. Your strong knowledge of both biology and bioprocess engineering, and your ability to integrate these disciplines, will place you in the perfect position towork, research and innovate in the rapidly changing bioprocessing sector. To study Bioprocessing, youmust join our Biological Sciences General Entry DC180 and choose this option at the end of Year 1. WhatWill I Study? At the start of the BSc in Bioprocessing, youwill be introduced to the basic sciences, mathematics and data analytics. As you progress, youwill delvemore deeply into the fundamentals of both biology and bioprocess engineering, putting in place the foundations to be able to integrate these disciplines. In Year 3, youwill begin to focus on real- world bioprocessing problems and have the opportunity to spend 9months in industry as part of our industrial training programme (INTRA). In Year 4, youwill continue to develop your ability to integrate biology and bioprocess engineering. Youwill complete an industry- focused research project and take part in a team-based product innovation challenge. Youwill also contribute to a research-focused journal clubwith your fellow students and your lecturers. HowToApply Applicants to this coursemust apply via DC180 Biological Sciences General Entry.
