Entry requirements
MPhil/PhD/EngD
Graduates with at least an upper second-class Honours degree or a graduate Master’s qualification in a suitable science or engineering discipline are eligible to apply. Candidates offering relevant industrial experience in addition to, or partly in place of, academic qualifications are also welcome to apply.
MSc
Normal
entry requirements are at least a second-class Honours degree from a UK
university or the equivalent from an approved overseas institution.
Candidates offering recent industrial experience in place of academic
qualifications are 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.
Applications
from graduate scientists are normally from candidates holding
qualifications in applied biology, biochemistry, biotechnology,
chemistry, microbiology, pharmacy or other related subjects.
Applications from graduate engineers are normally from candidates
holding qualifications in biochemical engineering, chemical
engineering, process engineering or other related subjects.
There
are typically up to 30 full-time places available each year. Both
degree programmes are 12 months in length and begin in late September.
