The Biochemical Engineering BEng is an interdisciplinary degree that blends applied biology, mathematics and engineering thinking. It is ideal for those who enjoy using science to solve real-world issues. 


Throughout the course, core modules will introduce you to the foundations of biochemical engineering. You’ll attend lectures, use our state-of-the-art practical training facilities, and engage in scenario-based learning activities to get hands-on experience in a diverse range of fields, from tackling biopharmaceutical process development to evaluating the sustainability of biofuels.


The degree culminates in the Design Project in Year 3. This is your opportunity to apply your acquired knowledge to a case study, where you are tasked with creating a process for the manufacture of a biopharmaceutical product — from facility design to techno-economic evaluation.


While you register for Biochemical Engineering as your core discipline, you’ll also engage in activities spanning departments via the UCL Integrated Engineering Programme. Our degrees encourage professional development by emphasising design and collaboration. We challenge our students to apply their knowledge to complex problems. 


Biochemical Engineering is offered as both a three-year BEng course and a four-year MEng course. You may reassess your choice of BEng/MEng route towards the end of the second year when you have gained a deeper understanding of what the subject involves.
