Description Contents Requirements

Biotechnology is a growing and important industrial sector in a world where resources are becoming more scarce. Moreover, biological systems are very useful in biocatalysis for pharmaceutical and fine-chemical production. The School has world-leading investigators in this field of research with state-of-the-art resources in combination with modern infrastructure. Students benefit from this by undertaking world-class research in a dynamic environment.

Who will benefit?

The course is ideal for new graduates and established scientists and engineers who wish to pursue studies into the engineering aspects of biotechnology at industrial level through studies of pharmaceuticals, medicine and food manufacturing.

What are the benefits to students?

* Career prospects are good - there is great demand for our graduates in the biotechnology industries such as pharmaceuticals, medicine and food manufacturing

* Biotechnology companies such as Astrazeneca, Avecia, Glaxosmithkline, Unilever and Syngenta operate in the North-West of England and the University enjoys close links with this thriving and growing industrial sector

* You gain a qualification from a first class University with an excellent reputation amongst employers Your qualification will be internationally recognised enabling you to work all over the world

* Teaching is provided by world-class experts in the field and you can benefit from their know-how and experience

* You will gain many other skills to make you more employable such as report writing, data analysis and the ability to make presentations
