Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering
BE (Hons) (NFQ Level 8) or BSc (Engineering Science) (NFQ Level 8) leading to ME (NFQ Level 9)
learn how to create valuable new pharmaceuticals, nano-materials and fuels, and how to design and operate the facilities to produce them.

develop the skills to analyse, control and continuously improve biologically- or chemically-based processes, and make these processes ‘greener’, safer and less costly.
Why is this course for me? Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering applies science and engineering for the transformation of matter and energy. Tis provides useful prod- ucts and processes, in a technically-, economi- cally- and environmentally-acceptable manner. Examples of products include chemicals, phar- maceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, polymers and nano-materials; examples of processes include the production of energy (from carbon-based or renewable resources) and CO2
sequestration. Chemical and bioprocess engineers use chem-
istry and biology as the bases for understanding these transformations; they apply mathematical and engineering principles to achieve them on the appropriate scale. If you’re a quantitatively- minded individual, who enjoys putting science and maths into action and if you’re interested in preparing for a wide range of career options then you’re likely to enjoy and thrive at Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering.

Professor Mohamed
Al-Rubeai PROFESSOR
Bioprocess Engineers creatively harness biological systems to provide solutions to human problems. Professor Mohamed Al-Rubeai, UCD Professor of Biochemical Engineering, works on degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis of the knee, which affects more than 30 million people. Professor Al Rubeai aims
to grow cartilage cells in the laboratory which can then be returned to the damaged knee. Professor Mohamed Al-Rubeai, UCD Professor of Biochemical Engineering
