Bachelor in Biopharmaceutical Science

Tuition is 3,600 EUR per year.

Students attend two days of practical training each semester at the NIBRT facility in Dublin, where they perform cell culture, protein purification and bio-analytical techniques in a professional laboratory environment. The programme is delivered online by ATU Sligo using its virtual learning platform, but requires regular travel to NIBRT for hands-on work, linking theoretical study with industry-standard practice.

The award comprises 60 credits spread over two years. Core modules cover facilities and utilities, cell-culture processing, protein purification, formulation and fill-finish, and biopharmaceutical quality systems. In the second year, students select two electives – either bio-analytical or bioprocess modules – and complete practical and theory components that develop laboratory and control-system skills.
