MSE in Chemie- und Biomolekulartechnik

The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering’s reputation is built on our leadership in research that has an impact on the world, the quality of our faculty and students, and the success of our alumni-in fields ranging from academia and a broad array of industries to entrepreneurial ventures. We are an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming community, and our excellence in research and education and our ability to make an impact on the world are tied intrinsically to the contributions and perspectives of individuals from different backgrounds.

Research and teaching in the department are integrated, and students at all levels have opportunities to put their knowledge to practice, working side-by-side with faculty mentors in their labs where they address topics ranging from the development of new therapies to conquer cancer and the creation of earth-friendly biofuels and other sources of energy to the design of molecular electronics and more.

The era of big data has opened new worlds of possibilities in our field, and our faculty are leading advances in areas such as using machine learning approaches to accelerate materials discovery and developing a multiscale algorithm to predict the structure of protein complexes from their constituent proteins.

About the Program

As a master's student in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, you will take part in the latest discoveries and learn about the most current applications of biomolecular research. Our MSE and Ph.D. programs draw upon the excellence of our faculty and are strengthened through our collaborations across the university, including with the renowned Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and other departments in the Whiting School of Engineering.

The Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering department offers several different master’s degrees:

• MSE in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering with three tracks:
  • Essay Based MSE
  • Course-based MSE
  • Design-Based MSE (Chemical Product Design Track)
• INBT Industry Co-Op Program: Students collaborate with major industry partners to offer a credited and paid co-op opportunity.

From 21st-century prosthetic limbs to speech recognition software to the widely used COVID-19 tracking map, Johns Hopkins Engineering innovations contribute to the common good. These innovations exemplify the creativity and knowledge that result from faculty and student collaboration.

At Johns Hopkins Engineering, you will be immersed in studies that foster the intellectual, professional, and research skills you need for success. This starts with small class sizes and continues with unrivaled research facilities and expert mentorship that will empower you to achieve—and even exceed—your goals.

Whether you are interested in pursuing a master’s degree on campus in the United States in Baltimore, Maryland or choose to study with us online from your home country, you’ll find your experience packed with knowledge you can use today and in the future.

Academics

Where others see obstacles, you see opportunities. When others settle, you still have questions. It’s that same spirit of curiosity and passion for problem-solving that fuels innovation and discovery—and is what drives all of us at Hopkins Engineering. At Hopkins Engineering, you’ll be part of a small community of innovators on campus with big-city access — and a global network. You’ll get to know your classmates, professors, and instructors.

Along the way, you'll meet and learn from scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs, inventors, and other experts — including many former Blue Jays. Advance your career, expand your opportunities, or deepen your expertise with a master’s degree in a high-demand field.
