Dual Degree MTech in Biological Engineering

This dual degree in Biological Engineering (B.Tech. & M.Tech.), offered by IIT Madras, brings together engineering principles and molecular life sciences to develop and operate biology-based technologies in diversified fields such as energy, environment, bioprocesses, biomaterials, diagnostics, biopharmaceuticals and food processing. The programme will impart knowledge on different areas of the biology-engineering interface and hence, is designed to be a broad-based one. It will emphasize core courses in basic sciences, biological sciences and provide a solid foundation in application of engineering principles to biological systems, through courses in different areas such as bioprocess engineering, biomedical engineering, biomolecular engineering and computational biology. This will enable the students to have a wider appreciation of the biology-engineering interface and allow them to evolve interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving, research and technology development
