This innovative degree program in Biomedical Technology for health professions of the future, which is unique in Germany, imparts a broad range of knowledge in the areas of medicine, natural sciences, computer science, and social and health sciences. It aims at a new professional profile in the field of health professions in which academic specialists are trained in an interdisciplinary manner with a focus on the challenges and opportunities of digitalization.

Within the framework of the "Biomedical Engineering" program, bachelors are trained to work effectively in the design, construction, research, use, and operation of medical devices and biotechnical systems for various functional purposes.

Clinical or medical technologists deal with the analysis of specimens that are critical to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. They perform a variety of physical, chemical, and microscopic analyses of body fluids and tissues using microscopes, chemicals, computers, and complex laboratory equipment.

Throughout history, we have benefitted from these amazing discoveries; from Edward Jenner who created the world’s first vaccination for smallpox, to the use of contact lenses to non-invasively monitor blood glucose in diabetic patients, and up to today where scientists have created biotechnology software to identify human faces with DNA left behind at crime scenes as well as wearable tattoos to monitor our important body functions by sending the information directly to the smartphones of our doctors.

The development of medical biotechnologies is one of the major success stories of the last 20 years and continues to revolutionize the world of medicine. Exciting new developments have led the way to new treatments to combat previously life-threatening diseases and improve the quality of life. This program will lead you through some of the most important developments, helping you to understand them and opening up a future world of innovation and discovery.
