Biochemical engineering focuses on the design of biological systems and processes that allow the conversion of raw products into consumables and desirable products with the minimum consumption of energy, lowest levels of pollution and smallest impact on the environment in the safest possible manner. Biochemical engineers work in industries as diverse as healthcare, the brewing of beer, and the tissue engineering of replacement human organs. Their contribution is the application of biochemical and biological principles to the design, development and operation of bio-process systems.
We are seeking accreditation from the Institution of Chemical Engineers, which will enable students who successfully complete the Biochemical Engineering MEng course to acquire Chartered Engineer status and corporate membership of the Institution.
