Bioengineering

Throughout the Bioengineering MSc program from Aalborg University (Esbjerg Campus)you will obtain skills and competences in Bioenergy, Biotechnology and Bioprocesses. You can choose to profile yourself towards molecular biotechnology and learn to manipulate the genes in microorganisms to produce natural compounds of interest such as pharmaceuticals, food ingredients, electrolytes in batteries or many other applications of need in society. You can also profile yourself towards fermentation processes and the engineering of the complex biorefinery operations that transfer the compounds from a “good idea in the lab” into use in society – where it makes an actual difference.

Career opportunities:

Job opportunities are many and your future workplace could be a consultancy, the public sector or the private industrial sector. You could work with biological production in companies like Glycom A/S or Novo Nordisk, with purification of valuable products from milk powder in Arla, with production of natural gas in biogas plants, with refining of proteins from plant based biomass etc.

With the newest theoretical knowledge and practical experimental experience, you will be able to design, dimension, operate, monitor and control the production of valuable biomass based products and make its biological production possible. With a course in “Life Science Companies – from Innovation to Industry” you will also learn what is needed for a creative idea to become good business! You learn to work, collaborate and navigate in an international academic environment often in close collaboration with industry. The program give you the skill set for working in a globalised world and expose you to different cultures and ways of collaboration that will prepare you to life after graduation.
