The Master’s in Chemical and Biological Engineering at Muroran Institute of Technology (Graduate School of Engineering, Division of Sustainable and Environmental Engineering) is a two-year full-time Master of Engineering program that prepares students with advanced interdisciplinary expertise at the intersection of chemistry, biology and engineering. This course is designed to develop professionals who can apply fundamental chemical and biological knowledge to contemporary societal and environmental challenges, such as creating biologically active substances using environmentally friendly organic reactions, developing efficient biological technologies that can coexist with nature, and advancing resource recycling and bioenergy systems through research and innovation. The curriculum systematically deepens students’ understanding of chemical and biological engineering by integrating core subjects such as physical chemistry, environmental catalytic chemistry, molecular biology, life sciences, environmental biotechnology, and chemical process production, alongside applied and information-related coursework that strengthens problem-solving skills across environmental and biological fields. Students conduct supervised research projects and a master’s thesis that emphasize both theory and practical engineering applications, equipping them to contribute to sustainable technologies, industrial processes, and environmental solutions.
