Bio-Electrical Engineering (B. Eng.)

Life sciences transfer scientific findings into innovative technologies in order to improve our living conditions. Life sciences are regarded by many as one of the leading sciences of the future. They combine scientific, engineering and non-technical disciplines.
Close relations between biology and electrical and information technology play a key role in this context. Digital devices are revolutionizing healthcare as we know it. Portable fitness technology has now established itself in society. More and more users are using wearables to obtain information about their own health. One of the most exciting applications of wearable technology is portable biosensors. These small sensors are able to provide continuous physiological information through non-invasive methods. With these sensors, medical personnel can measure biochemical markers in bio-fluids such as sweat, blood, tears, saliva, etc. to track the patient's health status and allow doctors to provide better treatment. Doctors are now recognizing the benefits, as the wearables provide more information for diagnosis and therapy than an examination in the doctor's office. The wearable sensors are not only used in healthcare, but also by athletes, as they allow them to monitor their vital functions during training. Although the development of wearables is still a relatively new industry, it has a promising future.



Bachelor of Engineering (B. Eng.)

7 Semester

Winter

Yes Dual Offers

German

Contents

The objective of the Bachelor's course in Bio-Electrical Engineering is practice-oriented teaching of interdisciplinary knowledge and methods from the fields of electrical engineering, information technology, health and life sciences as well as their application, based on scientific findings and methods. In addition to technical competence, social and methodological skills are taught to promote personality development and leadership qualities. Through the social skills acquired in internships, seminars or projects, students are able to work as part of a team or lead a project group. Together, this leads to an independent professional activity in the field of developing bioelectronic systems for the modern life sciences, biomedical and health care industry. 
After graduation, graduates should be able to use basic knowledge and concepts from the molecular level to the level of organ systems to develop innovative electronic devices or procedures for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, for the rehabilitation of patients and for the improvement of health.

Quick Info

Admission and application

  • Applying for a degree course
    Students may only begin their degree in the winter semester. Since the program is not subject to admission restrictions, applications are submitted exclusively via the PRIMUSS-application portal THI.
     
  • Registration dates
    Information on the application period and the application procedure can be found here: "Application for a Bachelor study course"
     
  • Admission requirements
    To gain admission to the programme, applicants need one of the following qualifications for university entrance:
    - Abitur (European Baccalaureate, A-Levels, High School Diploma)
    - Fachhochschulreife (Vocational Baccalaureate)
    - ​​​​​​​Fachgebundene Hochschulreife (Specialised A-Level)

    The following link provides specific information about the application process for admission to the degree programme.
     
  • Admission requirements for international students
    If you wish to study at a German University, you need a so-called Hochschulzugangsberechtigung (HZB), or higher education entrance qualification. This is a secondary school-leaving certificate that corresponds to the German Abitur and entitles you to study. Students from abroad must apply for admission from the university of their choice. For your application, you will require for a Bachelor's degree:
    - a school-leaving certificate (also known as "university entrance qualification", e.g. High School Diploma, Matura, A-Levels, Bachillerato, Atestat, baccalauréat)
    or
    - proof that you have passed the university entrance examination (if required in your home country)

Job profiles

Specialists are in demand throughout the medical field, but also in the prevention, health and lifestyle sectors:

  • Medical technology
  • Patient care
  • Fitness and wellness sector
  • Start-ups
  • Research

As broadly based as the study programme is, as varied are the topics:

  • Prosthetics and bionics
  • Exoskeletons and assistance systems
  • Medical robotics, intelligent training devices
  • Bio-enhancement, quantified self
  • Ageing society, ambient assisted living
  • Personal wellness devices
  • Wearables (smartwatch, smart clothing, etc.)

Dual studies or studies with in-depth practical

The dual studies programme enables a combination of practical training elements in a company with the theoretical education provided by the university. There is a choice of either the joint model (academic study + vocational training) or the degree course with vocational experience (academic study + intense practical phases). There is an obvious advantage to students here: practically oriented academic study generally enables a particularly smooth transition from university to the world of work. What is more, the student usually receives financial remuneration from the company concerned.

In the joint model, students may start working at the company several months before the start of the first semester, depending on the company concerned. At the start of the course there is an alternation between theory (during the semester) and practical experience (between semesters and during the practical semesters). In order to embark on a dual studies programme, students have to apply to both a company and to THI (be sure to take note of company application deadlines!).

More info on our dual studies-pages, or check dual cooperation partner companies. Even if no partner company is currently active in this degree programme, you are welcome to contact us.
