MSc Biosciences for Industry at Aston aims to enable you to develop an understanding of recent scientific and technological developments, to use this knowledge in industrial applications, as well as a practical skill set for further research and learning, such as PhD studies.

Bioscience research at Aston

Aston is home to an expansive and highly regarded bioscience research department.

You’ll be taught by passionate research active academics whose specialist areas of research include the development of tissue-engineered in vitro models of disease, specifically wound infections, optimisation of bioprocesses for the advance of cellular therapies, membrane proteins and enzymes.

This research is fed into the teaching on our courses, ensuring that you not only have access to the very latest trends and thinking in this specialist area, but that you also develop a critical appreciation of recent scientific developments and their clinical and industrial application.

Graduates from this course are prepared both for a research-focused role in industry and academia, in addition to industrial process development and commercial sectors.

You can therefore expect to apply for roles in further research, in the form of a PhD or research assistant, or undertake a career in the commercial or process engineering bioindustry sectors.
