M.Sc. Bionics / Biomimetics

Prerequisites

The prerequisites (also called Learning Agreement subjects) prepare students from a variety of backgrounds for further studies in bionics. Their scope depends on the academic credit content of the applicant's bachelor degree. Most students will have completed 6 semesters of post-grade 13 education, which is equivalent to 180 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credit points. Some students will have completed 210 ECTS points. The determination of the equivalence is done by UniAssist following guidelines issued by the German government (Kultusministerkonferenz). Students who are deemed to have 180 ECTS points must complete the prerequisite courses before they will be eligible to register for the core courses. For students arriving with 210 ECTS points, these courses are optional, but highly recommended.

The prerequisites for each of the specialisations are described in the links to the right.
