BACHELOR OF BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY WITH HONOURS

A "Bachelor of Bioprocess Engineering Technology with Honours" is a degree program that prepares graduates to design, develop, and implement biological processes for industrial applications, focusing on the intersection of biotechnology and chemical engineering. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

What is Bioprocess Engineering Technology?

• Definition:

  It's a multidisciplinary field that uses engineering principles, particularly chemical and biological ones, to develop and optimize processes using living organisms or their components (enzymes, etc.) for the production of various products. 

• Focus:

  Bioprocess Engineering aims to translate fundamental life science discoveries into practical, industrial-scale products and processes. 

• Applications:

  These technologies are used in various industries, including medical (pharmaceuticals, diagnostics), food, agriculture, and environmental sectors.
