Biomedical Engineering

Bachelor of Science (BSc)

Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering is an engineering discipline that designs technologies and methods for the health benefit of people. The Biomedical Engineering programme at Ulm University is embedded in research-intensive engineering sciences and clinical medicine, a combination which is unique in Baden-Württemberg. In this environment, the degree programme imparts all the specialist knowledge and skills required to meet the demands of the engineering profession of Biomedical Engineering.  IIn the bachelor's programme, this includes not only engineering sciences but also the basics of human medicine, physics, computer science and mathematics. In addition, in-depth knowledge and skills in specialised areas of medicine, medical technology, electrical engineering, communications technology and biophysics can be acquired in the compulsory elective area.

More about the course

The study objective is a broad education in the engineering sciences combined with competencies from medicine and biology. The degree, which is both professionally qualifying and research-related, enables graduates to solve biomedical engineering problems. The degree programme thus focuses on teaching basic engineering knowledge, system and methodological competences, as well as the ability to work and communicate in an interdisciplinary and cross-domain manner.

In the modules of the first semesters, the basics of mathematics and physics, electrical engineering and information technology, biomedical engineering, and human biology are covered. From the 4th semester onwards, the contents of the main research areas of biomedical engineering at Ulm University are taught. In addition, key skills such as programming and project management are trained, as well as additive transferable skills to enhance interdisciplinary competence and language skills. Acquired knowledge and skills are applied in projects and the bachelor's thesis with reference to clinical and medical research.
