Bioprocessing MSc (Online)

The MSc is a one year full time (fully online) or two year part time programme which is delivered through a combination of lectures and tutorials, interactive group and one-on-one sessions, and research project work.

Students will learn about the latest advances in biochemistry and biomanufacturing including computational modelling. Tutorials will emphasise problem-based learning to encourage creative self-directed learning and equip students with advanced numerical and computational skills for proactive troubleshooting in industrial bioprocessing.

Guest speakers at the cutting edge of current industry regulatory affairs will present during the programme. These lectures will be supplemented with additional reading material, assignments, discussion forums and quizzes.

Through the Summer research project students will develop their enquiry-based learning and presentation skills as they explore scientific and technical issues currently facing bio-based industries.

Applicants should normally have a primary degree (Level 8 - NFQ or other internationally recognised equivalent) with a minimum second class hons, in a relevant branch of science or engineering (e.g., Chemistry, Physics, Biotechnology, Environmental, Food or Materials Science, Mechanical, Environmental or Food Engineering).

Applicants who do not meet the requirements above may be considered under the University of Limerick Recognition of Prior Learning policy.
