About this degree
Our graduate programmes are internationally recognised and draw on advances in life sciences and the core discipline of biochemical engineering. We maintain close teaching and research links with other highly rated UCL departments and with experts from other departments throughout the UK and overseas, and are also involved in close collaborations with industry. This vibrant department leads in the field and offers an exciting graduate training and research environment. Independent assessments confirm the excellence and breadth of the department's taught programmes (IChemE accredited) and place our research programmes at the forefront of international endeavours.
Who this course is for
This unique EngD programme provides our research students the opportunity to explore novel science and engineering in a manufacturing and business context while also being embedded in the UCL Department of Biochemical Engineering.
What this course will give you
UCL was one of the founding biochemical engineering laboratories and established the first UK university department in the discipline. UCL Biochemical Engineering is a world leader and co-ordinates bioprocess-related activities across the university. In the latest UK Research Excellence Framework UCL (REF2021) was ranked second in research power, 97% of “Engineering” outputs were ranked as either "world-leading" (4*) or “internationally excellent”
The department has outstanding facilities following capital investments worth over £30 million in recent years. These include a full-scale bioprocess pilot plant and new laboratory suites for synthetic biology, stem cell and virus bioprocessing research. Researchers have access to further resources across UCL, which was rated 2nd in the UK for research power in the Research Excellence Framework 2021.
The EngD Centre has received continuous support since 1999 and is a national focus for bioprocess research and training. Researchers at the centre are embedded within a vibrant research community of over 100 doctoral and postdoctoral researchers.
