Bioengineering is a multidisciplinary programme with a core curriculum focusing on integral aspects of biomolecular and pharmaceutical engineering processes, such as protein engineering, biomolecular detection using innovative sensing devices and bioprocess quality assurance employing advanced bioimaging techniques. Integrated with the Second Major in Pharmaceutical Engineering, students in this unique programme will receive in-depth training in the development and manufacturing of pharmaceutical drugs to produce high-value and high-quality biological-based therapeutics.

Singapore has positioned itself as a strong biopharmaceutical manufacturing hub since the early 2000s and is today a top manufacturing site for active pharmaceutical ingredients and solid dosage drugs for the global market. Drawn by Singapore’s competitive advantages in world-class infrastructure and capabilities, scientific and clinical excellence, robust regulatory framework and intellectual property protection, as well as global standards in safety, quality and efficacy, more than 30 of the world’s leading biopharmaceutical companies have made Singapore their global manufacturing base. These companies have invested significantly in new biologics manufacturing sites in Singapore, driving an increase in demand for biopharma engineers and related research innovations. The Second Major in Pharmaceutical Engineering will prepare students for exciting and impactful careers in the vital pharmaceutical industries spanning key sectors such as pharmaceutical and biotechnology, biomedical and clinical sciences, healthcare and research and development.

The Bachelor of Engineering with a Second Major in Pharmaceutical Engineering integrates the requirements of both engineering majors within the typical candidature of 4 years.

Candidates must meet the minimum entry requirements of the respective Bachelor of Engineering programme, including the minimum subject requirements. Please refer to the Office of Admissions for more information.
