Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

On successful completion of this course, students should be able to
- Analyze the bioprocess development and apply it for commercial interest
- Construct and interpret the bioprocess parameters in bioreactor
- Design a bioprocess starting from fermentation to final purification
- Present the importance of bioprocess technology to a group of audience and appreciate the importance of group work
