The Modular Training for the Bioprocess Industries (MBI) programme pioneered by UCL Biochemical Engineering is a series of intensive short courses designed for professionals in the bioprocessing industry. The MBI Programme has a long history of equipping the bioprocessing industry's workforce with up-to-date skills and knowledge of process options in order to rapidly develop validatible, efficient and robust processes. It also provides invaluable insights on the latest technical and regulatory developments and achieves this via a flexible route that provides ongoing motivation, creativity and professional status for delegates.

MBI has educated more than 1500 individuals across 300 companies since its inception and is increasingly attracting global attention with 50% of companies attending MBI courses based outside the UK.

These courses are led by senior UCL Biochemical Engineering Faculty members and in collaboration with over 70 industrial experts.These courses attract a diverse cohort of students ranging from life scientists and process engineers, who are hands-on in development and manufacture to group leaders, senior-level directors, and executives who are keen to gain insights into current trends in new therapy areas, regulatory affairs and cutting edge research.

Emphasis is on teaching through interactive problem solving case studies in small classes for effective learning. Each course is UCL-accredited and can be taken individually or combined for a Masters level qualification.
