BA/BS in Biomechatronik

This degree unites biology, medicine and engineering and teaches how mechanics, electronics and computer science integrate with biological systems. Students learn to build and test simple prototypes and to solve practical technical problems. The faculty's research orientation lets learners take part in projects such as biomechatronic prostheses, exoskeletons and adaptive control systems. The practical study semester can be arranged as an international semester, and the thesis may be written in industry or at a research institution at home or abroad. Graduates find work in biotechnology firms, the medical technology sector and the pharmaceutical industry, and master programmes at universities stay open to them. Teaching is in German. The course is offered by Reutlingen University, a public university of applied sciences in Baden-Württemberg. Prospective students should consult the faculty website for the current study and examination regulations, the module plan and the individual application steps before they apply. Questions about content, admission or organisation can be raised with the study advisory service of the respective faculty.
