Bachelor's degree in Biosystems Engineering
Barcelona School of Agri-Food and Biosystems Engineering (EEABB)
The bachelor’s degree in Biosystems Engineering combines biology with the UPC's expertise in technology to produce engineers who have technical skills and a capacity for innovation in the biotechnology sector. You will receive multidisciplinary training in areas such as microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, bioinstrumentation, in vitro culture and bioreactor operation, as well as techniques for bioenergy and biomaterial production, environmental bioremediation and aquatic organism production. You will also learn the technological fundamentals of engineering for the design and use of facilities and equipment in the biotechnology industry and for the application of biotechnology in environmental recovery and improvement.
The programme includes fieldwork, laboratory and computer modelling practicals that provide training in technology, applied biology and the economic viability of companies in the sector.- Professional opportunities
