Bioengineering responds to developments in life science and the national biotechnology industry, with attention to the use of distinctive biological resources and downstream separation technology. It trains applied engineers in a broad, all-round way.
Students study microbiology, molecular biology and genetic engineering, fermentation engineering, cell engineering, enzyme engineering and biochemical separation engineering. The training prepares them for engineering and process design, product and technology development, and production and quality management in biological, medical, environmental, food and chemical fields.
Graduates join high-tech enterprises and public bodies in biology, medicine, food, agriculture, resources and the environment, working in new technology development, applied research, production management, and inspection and quarantine. Postgraduate study in biology, medicine and food is also an option.
