Turn cutting-edge science into transformative solutions. This programme empowers you with the knowledge, skills, and commercial insight to lead innovation at the forefront of global biotechnology.

Biotechnology plays a vital role in everyday life. It drives innovation in everything from laundry detergents to biofuels, and even the food we eat.

With our Industrial and Commercial Biotechnology MSc, you’ll:
  • refine your molecular biology skills
  • explore a wide range of applied biotechnological applications
  • develop your independent research skills

The United Nations has identified food security as a key sustainable development goal. Our programme investigates how biotechnology can maximise crop yields without increasing agricultural land.

This includes approaches that:
  • make crops more resilient
  • produce sustainable and environmentally friendly pesticides

Our MSc programme will enable you to understand how AI, synthetic and engineering biology are integrated with industrial processes to develop new technologies. This extends to the modelling and implementation of large-scale bioprocess engineering.
