Description

The course has a strong component of Chemical Engineering, aiming at training Process Engineers for industries where biological, chemical or physics-chemical processes are predominant. Their specific intervention areas are related to multidisciplinary domains of Biological and Chemical Science and Technology, Fermentation and Pharmaceutical industries, agro and food industries, Chemical industry and Biomedical and Environmental areas. The graduates will be competent professionals able to collaborate with the cleanup and quality control sectors of these industries, or to start a research career in the aforementioned domains. The education of biological engineers is based on a solid training in basic sciences in the domains of Biological Engineering and also in a deep knowledge of curricular units related to Biological Engineering, adequately combining theory and practice.

Access to higher education

This course provides the technical and scientific capacity to access the courses of the second cycle (Master)

Careers

The Biological Engineers are capable of demonstrating creativity, a pro-active attitude when facing change, communication capacity when referring to technical or generic audits, leadership and entrepreneurship; they have the ability to work in teams and in a larger network and are aware of citizenship and eco-sustainable performance.
