Our undergraduate course will teach you the scientific principles that underpin chemical engineering and biotechnology, and how these can be applied to solve real-world problems. Our range of postgraduate courses includes taught Masters programmes encompassing biotechnology and chemical engineering research, business and management in bioscience, as well as MPhil by research and PhD opportunities in our research groups or in our Doctoral Training Centre for Sensor Technologies.
We use fundamental science to solve some of the world's biggest challenges. Our multidisciplinary department houses expertise in fundamental science, engineering and mathematics fields, with an overarching drive to deliver real impact in the areas of sustainability and healthcare.
Researchers in the Bioelectronic Systems Technology (BEST) Group, led by Professor Roisin Owens, have secured funding to develop technology with potential to accelerate drug development, reduce reliance on animal testing, and enhance sustainability in pharmaceutical research.
Researchers have revealed how triboelectric effects in elastic polymers can enhance mechanoluminescence under stretching, offering insights that could improve imaging technologies, healthcare sensors, and sustainable lighting solutions.
