If you are interested in learning, applying and developing new engineering skills and knowledge to meet global challenges relating to the development of novel medicines, pioneering stem cell therapies or green sustainable technologies, then Biochemical Engineering at UCL is for you.
In the next decade and beyond, UCL biochemical engineers' work will be vital not only in the area of new medicine manufacture but also for novel materials from renewable sources such as biofuels, improved approaches to reducing and dealing with environmental pollution and more nutritious foods. This critical work is being carried out not only by researchers and postgraduate students but also by those studying for a degree.
The department is also part of the RESILIENCE UK Medicines Manufacturing Skills Centre of Excellence which aims to attract more young people into the sector, develop industry-ready graduates and support the continual professional development of those already working in the UK bioindustry and beyond.
