Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering(BCH462)

The module provides a fundamental understanding of biotechnological, molecular biology and genetic engineering to give them a clear understanding of the scientific principles and how these have been used to advance biotechnology and industrial bioprocesses. It lays the foundation for further in-depth studies of biological systems being, or with potential for, commercial exploitation.

learning outcomes
Demonstrate a broad knowledge and understanding of the fundamental principles of biotechnology and the importance of microorganisms in the development, exploitation and commercialisation of biological processes. Evaluate a range of techniques and strategies used in the biotechnology industries.
