M.Sc. BioMechatronics

BioMechatronics at Bielefeld University is a German-taught Master of Science run jointly by the university and Hochschule Bielefeld. It lasts four semesters, carries 120 credit points and can start in the winter or the summer semester. The subject is about analysing, designing and improving mechatronic products using insights from living nature, with ideas drawn from biology, medicine or psychology. Biomechatronic systems sense their surroundings, act in a resource-efficient way and adapt to new tasks and environments, which makes them important for automation and robotics. You learn neurobionics, biorobotics and biomechanics together with systems engineering and embedded systems, and moving systems are a central theme. The programme brings together engineering, biology and computer science. It suits students looking for a research-oriented career who enjoy tackling engineering questions with methods from biology, computer science and mathematics, for example in automation, robotics, medical technology or movement analysis.
