Compulsory modules

The aim of this module is for the student to apply classical mechanics to human motion and to develop the skills and understanding for 3D motion analysis, to be able to collect, process, calculate, and interpret kinetic and kinematic data during dynamic activities.

The aims of this module are:

  • To give experience of a substantial research project.
  • To give training and insight into research methods.
  • To impart the importance of safety issues related to practical work in the laboratory.

Optional modules

The aim of this module is to develop an in-depth understanding of the principles, theory and practice pertinent to the design and optimisation of bioprocesses for the large-scale batch and continuous manufacture of various products in the bio and pharma industries.

This module aims to build a comprehensive understanding of how colloid science underpins modern drug delivery technologies. Students will explore how molecular and interparticle interactions give rise to colloidal behaviour, and how these behaviours manifest in macroscopic properties relevant to chemical and pharmaceutical engineering. The module will highlight the central role of colloidal systems such as emulsions, micelles, liposomes, nanoparticles, and hydrogels in enabling controlled, targeted, and efficient delivery of therapeutic agents.

Through this integrated perspective, students will develop a clear understanding of key principles in drug delivery and targeting, including transport mechanisms, formulation strategies, and biological interactions. The module will also provide hands on practice in selecting, designing, and modelling drug delivery devices and colloidal formulations for real world applications.

The module aims to provide students with advanced knowledge and understanding of a broad set of concepts associated with innovation, intellectual property and commercialisation aspects, focusing on technological entrepreneurship rather than social enterprise.

This module aims to:

  • Appraise types and properties of materials that can be (i) used for biomedical applications, (ii) derived from renewable sources, (iii) degraded in biological environments.
  • Analyse how material composition and micro/nanostructure influence biological environments and degradation processes.
  • Assess the design and development of materials of biological relevance and/or from renewable sources.
  • Understand different techniques for biomaterials characterisations.

The aim of this module is for students to develop an understanding of regenerative medicine.
