Bionics Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences

Overview

Programme details

The natural world as a source of engineering inspiration – that’s the core idea behind the field of bionics, a combination of the terms “biology” and “technics”, which means engineering in this context. In English, the approach of combining biology and engineering is often called biomimetics.

Graduates of the Master Bionics study programme offered by Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences have the ability to identify, to analyze, and to find solutions for scientific and technical tasks. Through the acquisition of key qualifications the graduates are well prepared to work in teams and projects, and to communicate results and knowledge.

Career Paths 

Experts in bionics/biomimetics work in a highly interdisciplinary field which requires expertise in both engineering and biology. What‘s more, interest in potential uses for bio-inspired materials and machinery continues to grow in many sectors and industries, creating a growing demand for specialists in these fields.

Potential areas of employment for graduates are:

• Robotics companies
• Automotive / aerospace industries, particularly in the areas of autonomy and lightweight structures.
• Industries and research institutions focusing on micro-/nanotechnology
• Biomaterials industry
• Energy technology
• Engineering consulting
• Research institutions
• Service providers and experts specialising in biomimetics
