Additional entrance requirements | First professional degree: The admission requirement is a relevant undergraduate degree in an engineering or science subject with an overall grade of ‘good’ (2.5) or better. In exceptional cases, you can also prove your eligibility by demonstrating that you have accomplished particularly qualifying tasks in your professional activities after completing your undergraduate degree; that you performed with particular proficiency in the second half of your undergraduate degree; or that your outstanding final thesis had a particular relevance to biomedical engineering. Applicants who have completed an undergraduate degree in engineering or science that is of no relevance to biomedical engineering may be admitted in exceptional cases. The Examination Committee will decide whether or not you qualify for the programme.
Language requirements: Applicants who did not acquire their study qualification at a German-speaking institution must demonstrate that they have knowledge of German at level C1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL), for example by proving that they have passed the TestDaF (Test Deutsch als Fremdsprache) with an average score of ‘4’, or must furnish equivalent proof. |
Enrolment | The next enrolment phase commences in November 2023. |
Detailed description of the degree programme
Biomedical engineering enables failed organs to function properly again. We can use biomedical engineering to measure optimum doses of medication, or to produce insulin by genetic engineering. Its use also enhances patient safety while they are being cared for. Intense research produces insights that save lives – for example, biomedical engineering makes early diagnosis and many subsequent treatments possible in the first place.
