Biomedical Engineering
Would you like to understand how the technology behind fitness trackers and medical devices in hospitals or doctors’ surgeries works? At THI, the Bachelor’s degree programme in Biomedical Engineering will teach you how to develop medical and healthcare technology and help people stay fit or get better.
At the start of your degree, you’ll lay the foundations: biomedical fundamentals, physiology and anatomy are combined with mathematics, electrical engineering and physics. During the interdisciplinary placement, you’ll bring both together – theory meets practice.
In the second part, you’ll delve deeper: you’ll explore biological sensors, medical technology, artificial intelligence, and communications and control engineering, and learn how to develop medical devices and apps. During your work placement semester with a company in Germany or abroad, you’ll gain your first professional experience and work on real-world projects.
Once you’ve completed your Bachelor’s thesis, many doors will be open to you as a biomedical engineer: for example, in hospitals (equipment maintenance, clinical engineering), in research and industry (development of medical devices, implants, software and AI), as well as in quality assurance, regulatory affairs, management or sales (regulatory affairs, product management, consultancy).
Please note that this is a German language study course!
What can I do with a degree in biomedicine and electronics?
Biomedical engineers find a broad field of activity in industry, research and development and work, for example, as device manufacturers for medical products, in the development of methods and tools for research, development and production in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, as calculation engineers for the development and optimisation of various implants such as stents, as software developers for medical products.

Applying for a degree course
Students may only begin their degree in the winter semester. Since the programme 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)
