Agricultural Engineering and Bioengineering in UK

This Master's course aims to educate future engineers who specialise in fluid mechanics, specifically in the unique offshore, coastal and built environments.

You will gain hands-on experience with access to our world class Hydrodynamics Laboratory to perform and observe experimental investigations.

Our Engineering Fluid Mechanics for the Offshore, Coastal and Built Environments provides training to a new generation of Engineers in Fluid Mechanics.

The course is both theoretical and practical, with a strong design component to ensure practical knowledge of the discipline.

There are pre-session modules in Mathematics and the specialist software Matlab, ensuring all students have a solid understanding of the fundamentals.

Once the fundamentals have been covered you move onto in-depth modules in modelling, transport, computation, coastal processes and energy systems.

You will complete a research project in a relevant area of your choice, ensuring you can produce an in-depth written piece on a topic suiting your personal interests or future career intentions

Our well-established School of Pharmacy and Bioengineering focuses on providing the most up to date training and experience and aims to form graduates and post-graduates who are at the forefront of our professions. Over the three years of the BSc Bioengineering (Regenerative Medicine) programme, you will create a solid foundation in biomedical disciplines.

You will explore the fundamentals of the biological processes essential to understand the fine relation between stem cells and differentiation, cells and the extracellular environment, tissue structure and function and to explore the critical challenges of cell, tissue and organ regeneration. Thus, the programme will equip you with a transdisciplinary biomedical knowhow, laboratory skills and lexicon that will allow you to work on research, discovery and production of regenerative medicines.

The programme aims to create a specialised workforce that will respond to the future demands for regenerative drugs. You will work in the laboratory to experience the discovery potentials of stem cell differentiation, 3D-bioprinting, bioreactor, genome editing technologies and high throughput sequencing; cutting-edge tools that are assisting in the significant acceleration of the biological research and transformation of medicine.

An intensive 12-week research project in Year 3 will embed you within the vibrant research community of the School of Pharmacy and Bioengineering allowing you to gain knowledge of open questions in regenerative medicine and hands-on experience on novel cell and tissue engineering technologies.

Other key innovative elements of this programme include: novel modules in stem cell biology, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in Year 2 and 3 to meet career aspirations of students in bioengineering, year-long laboratory series in Year 1 and 2 to ensure you acquire appropriate laboratory skills and the availability of optional credits in computer science across the three years.

Our research master's in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security is suitable if:

• you have a strong interest in a specific related topic
• you're confident that you want to pursue a career in research

Sustainable agriculture and food security focuses on the availability of food now and in the future. This is a major concern of scientific and commercial communities world-wide. 

The prominence of this subject is driven by:

• an increasing need for resilient, regenerative agricultural systems
• pressure on non-renewable or scarce resources
• need to minimise the impact agriculture has on the environment

The Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security master's covers all aspects of food security as outlined by Global Food Security. The Global Food Security is a multi-agency programme involving the main UK public sector funders of research and training related to food.

Industry experienced and research-active lecturers teach on this course.

On the MRes, the majority of your credits will be gained from the dissertation module, which is self-directed research. Your studies are supported by a smaller number of taught modules compared to the Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security MSc. This course is most suitable if you have a strong interest in a particular topic and are confident that you want to pursue a career in research. If you want to gain a broad knowledge of sustainable agriculture and food security or are not sure if you want to specialise in a specific topic, then you may find our Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security MSc more suitable.

The globally important agri-food sector is intrinsically linked to challenges around land and water use, climate change, sustainability, health, and wellbeing. This industry-guided programme aims to equip students with the advanced skills, knowledge, and expertise needed to undertake technical and production management roles within this growing industry.

Students at Lincoln have the opportunity to study a variety of forward thinking topics such as principles of crop science, advanced food manufacturing, new product and process development, food safety and technical management, agri-robotics, as well as commercial, operational, and supply chain management.
