HC Deb 22 June 1966 vol 730 cc99-100W
Mr. Charles Morrison

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what courses in biochemical engineering are provided in universities and technical colleges in Great Britain; and what plans there are for expanding these courses.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

I understand that University College, London, offers a post-graduate diploma course in biochemical engineering and the University of Birmingham a post-graduate course in biological chemical engineering. Others offer courses in applied biochemistry or include elements of this subject in chemical engineering courses. It is for the universities to decide on future plans. So far as I know, technical colleges do not at present offer courses in this subject, but no doubt they would do so in response to demand.
