Biology, medicine and engineering expertise combined

• You will deal with forward-looking scientific and technical issues.
• The degree programme is interdisciplinary and includes modern biological and technical subjects as well as the basics of computer science and project management.
• The focus is on teaching technical knowledge, biological understanding, analytical skills, interdisciplinary thinking and the ability to innovate.
• You will learn the basics of biology, anatomy and physiology in order to better understand the interactions between technology and biological structures.
• Knowledge of mechanics, electronics, computer science, control engineering, sensor technology and automation are further aspects of the degree programme.
• You will learn about biological and technical principles not only in theory, - but also carry out their own experiments in state-of-the-art laboratories.
• You can develop and test simple prototypes and solve technical problems in practice.
• Thanks to the faculty's proximity to research, you will have the opportunity to work on forward-looking topics, e.g. the development of biomechatronic prostheses, exoskeletons or adaptive control systems.
• Internationality is a top priority: You can organise the practical semester as an international semester. The Bachelor's thesis can also be completed in industry or in research institutions in Germany or abroad.
• With a Bachelor of Engineering after seven successful semesters, you will have optimal career opportunities in a wide range of areas, such as biotechnology companies, the medical technology sector or the pharmaceutical industry. Master's programmes at colleges and universities are also open to you.

The degree programme provides a comprehensive understanding of the integration of mechanics, electronics and computer science in biological systems in order to develop biomechatronic solutions. In particular, the subject includes aspects of biomedical engineering, biomechanics, robotics, measurement and control technology, data science and human-machine interactions.
