ObjectivesTo provide a uniquely multidisciplinary learning experience relevant to the emerging discipline of biological engineering and careers in industrial bioprocessing.
Entry requirementsEntry Requirements You must have at least a 2.1 honours first degree (or equivalent) in engineering or science in a suitable subject. If you are an International student you must also have a suitable language qualification, such as TOFEL (minimum score 550) or IELTS (minimum overall score 6.5 with no individual score less than 5.0). You may be required to attend an English Language course in the University before or during the programme.
Academic titleMSc Biological and Bioprocess Engineering
Course descriptionCourse Content
You will be taught by experts in the field from the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering, plus highly complementary teaching modules provided by a range of Sheffield's other world-class departments. These include Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Engineering Materials and Physics.
Modules include:
-Conversion module option 1 (for graduate engineers): Introduction to Molecular Bioscience
-Conversion module option 2 (for graduate bioscientists): Principles of Biochemical Engineering
