The aim is to provide students with an advanced understanding of the discipline of environmental economics from both a theoretical and applied perspective, give students familiarity with the analytic tools and methods, and enable them to apply taught concepts in the final dissertation and later in their work. Given the research interest of the departments and the skills in demand by the market place, this module will generate knowledge of:

• Applied environmental policies and economic instruments

• Techniques used to evaluate non-market environmental goods

• Problems related to the application of environmental instruments and their enforcement

• Strengths and Limitations of different approaches

To provide training for MSc biochemical engineers, via lectures and case studies, in the engineering principles underlying the operations and processes for the recovery and purification of biological materials. The course focuses on how operations need to be integrated to create a whole sequence where issues of ease of operation, safety and environmental impact are considered at the selection stage. Taught alongside industrial delegates this course provides a blend of theory and application supported by insights to cutting-edge developments in the field.

Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:

Discuss the reasons for selection of particular operations considered from a whole bioprocess perspective;
	Familiarise with the mechanisms of operation and apply the key design equations for equipment sizing and performance estimation
	Appreciate the implications for operation selection and assess the robustness, ease, safety and cost.
	Understand how complete recovery and purification sequences may be best put together to provide the ideal precursor to pilot plant studies, design projects and research projects.
