This Masters will provide graduates from an engineering or mathematical based science background the opportunity to specialize in the application of engineering science and design to biological materials and systems, especially in:
- Food process engineering
- Sustainable energy
- Environmental protection
Biosystems Engineers are at the forefront of the search for practical solutions to global problems and this specialization will lead graduates to a wide variety of employment opportunities with companies focusing on processing of food and other biological materials, environmental protection, waste recycling, sustainable energy and green technologies.
This program is delivered by a highly research-intensive School comprising a European Research Council Fellow and six Marie Curie Fellowships. Professors Sun and O’Donnell are in the world’s top one percent of the most cited scientists in their field. The UCD School of Biosystems & Food Engineering also consistently wins up to €3 million in annual research funding.
