MSc in Industrial Biotechnology Enterprise

The Faculty of Science runs a very successful collaborative programme in Industrial Biotechnology Enterprise with St Xaviers College, Mumbai. The programme is funded by the UK-India Education & Research Initiative (UKIERI). This course is designed for high achieving students and aims to fill the gap between biotechnology industry expectations and the skills provided by higher education.

We were delighted to welcome a delegation from St Xavier's in May 2011 to celebrate and extend our partnership.
