The postgraduate programme ‘Designer in Bioprocess Engineering’ develops selected MSc graduates from (bio-)chemical engineering, or related academic backgrounds, into Designers in Bioprocess Engineering.
The course programme is custom-designed to each student and thus differs from trainee to trainee depending on background and interest. Some parts are compulsory, however, as all disciplines must be sufficiently represented. Courses are organized by different institutions, such as TU Delft and the University of Leiden. Also, the Graduate School on Process Technology (OSPT) and Biotech Delft run courses aimed explicitly at EngD, or professional level.
Core courses are:
- Advanced Principles in Product and Process Design
- Fermentation Technology & Environmental Biotechnology
- Microbial Physiology
- Project Management
- Techno Economic Evaluation
