The students attended a series of lectures, masterclasses and practical activities covering a range of topics related to biochemical engineering. This included the manufacturing of AIDS therapies, amongst others. The course also allowed students a first-hand glimpse into university life.
Activities over the four-day period included a sports night, film night and an evening disco, which enabled students to further discuss their projects and learn more about careers within biochemical engineering.
The course organiser, Yuhong Zhou (°×С½ãÂÛ̳ Biochemical Engineering), commented: "It is fantastic to show these enthusiastic young students how biochemical engineering enhances the quality of our lives.The students were totally engaged in the activities working with their team and displayed a real enthusiasm for meeting challenges and solving problems.
"The UK has a pressing need for outstanding scientists and engineers, and The Smallpeice Trust courses are an excellent way of showing our most capable young people the attractions of a scientific career. I hope the young people have a feeling for what it's like to live, work and study at an international leading university."
