What is Designer in Bioprocess Engineering | BPE?

The two-year Engineering Doctorate (EngD) Designer in Bioprocess Engineering programme develops MSc graduates in (Bio-)chemical Engineering or related academic backgrounds into multidisciplinary specialists, in preparation for a career in the industry. Part of this Engineering Doctorate in (EngD) entails a one-year traineeship at a company while under the supervision of a Delft University of Technology faculty. 

Admission and Application

The post-MSc design programme "Designer in Bioprocess Engineering" has only 12 to 14 openings for EngD trainees per year, which means admission is highly selective. 

 

Industry

Our interaction with industry is essential. The programme prepares trainees for an industrial career, and usually half of the traineeship is spent working in industry or on an industry-related project. Our organisation has an industrial advisory board, and the design projects and our graduates are highly respected by industries in the Netherlands and abroad.
