Why study Bioelectronics Engineering?

  • Acquire interdisciplinary expertise
    Combines engineering knowledge with life science principles. You will learn to analyse and solve complex problems at the interface of life sciences and microelectronics.

  • Practical and future-orientated
    You will apply your knowledge directly through extensive practical training in cell biology, biochemistry, microbiology, chemistry and BEE integration. You will develop bioelectronic systems and simulate and analyse their function. At the same time, you will learn to design experiments independently and analyse them statistically.

  • Take off internationally
    An integrated English module prepares you to work in international teams - in both research and business. You can also spend a semester abroad during your degree, especially in your 5th and 6th semesters. 

Your profile after graduation

After completing the bachelor degree programme, you can:

  • Analyse interdisciplinary problems and develop solutions.
  • Designing, modelling and optimising bioelectronic systems.
  • Independently plan, carry out and critically evaluate experiments.
  • Apply scientific methods and specialised literature effectively.
  • Support teams internationally and culturally sensitive.

Curriculum at a glance

The degree programme covers a wide range of topics:

  • Fundamentals: Mathematics, electrical engineering, physics, cell biology, biochemistry, microbiology and chemistry.
  • Interdisciplinary specialisation: Elective modules allow you to pursue your interests in a targeted manner.
  • Research & Practice: Extensive practical courses from the 1st semester onwards give you the opportunity to put your theoretical knowledge into practice.
