Outline
Module Goal
To develop a framework for the design of the upstream and downstream production process of bio-pharmaceuticals, through the use of novel approaches/technologies.
Module Content
- This advanced, highly specialised micro-credential supports the learner in acquiring industry standard skills such as: Define a production process to operate with flexibility in order to effectively facilitate efficient technological transfers and production process.
- Integrate an upstream and downstream production process into a commercial facility layout through incorporation of state-of-the-art technologies for biopharmaceutical processing e.g. disposable technology, process analytical technology, QbD, thereby increasing speed to risk reduction milestones
- Design a production suite to align personnel, equipment and material flows with the existing procedures, facility layout and process support areas to minimise impact on other processes.
- Define a production process to operate with flexibility in order to effectively facilitate efficient technological transfers and production process.
- Integrate an upstream and downstream production process into a commercial facility layout through incorporation of state-of-the-art technologies for biopharmaceutical processing e.g. disposable technology, process analytical technology, QbD, thereby increasing speed to risk reduction milestones
- Design a production suite to align personnel, equipment and material flows with the existing procedures, facility layout and process support areas to minimise impact on other processes.

Requirements
This micro-credential is organised to accommodate part-time students who are working in industry looking to upskill or reskill in this specialist area. The micro-credential offers graduates working in the pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical industry as well as students and professionals with basic engineering backgrounds/experience the opportunity to further develop their skill set and employability across a wider range of roles in the industry through enhanced continuing professional development.
Fees and Costs
The HCI Pillar 3 Micro-credential Learner Fee Subsidy has been introduced to enable more learners to address critical skills gaps and engage with lifelong learning.
The fee for this micro-credential is €1,000 but applicants who meet the subsidy requirements can attend this micro-credential for €500.
