The degree program in Bioengineering combines engineering and natural sciences. In the beginning, foundational knowledge is acquired in mathematics, chemistry, biology, technical mechanics, numerics, and apparatus engineering. In-depth knowledge in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, etc. enables the understanding of technological processes. Students will gain knowledge of not only biotechnology but also all unit operations. In addition to the lectures, these contents are also taught in laboratory practicals. At the end of the bachelor's program, students choose a specialization in which they write their first small research paper. The bachelor's thesis provides another opportunity to further explore one's interests scientifically. A professional internship is not required.

Bioengineers develop and improve processes for manufacturing innovative products based on biological raw materials and organisms. They implement biological, chemical, and physical research results in new production processes, design and construct technical equipment, or drive the development of product ideas. Bioengineers improve processes in terms of sustainability, safety, and product quality. The job description is correspondingly diverse. Bioengineers work in many different industries. In the pharmaceutical industry, for example, the proportion of biotechnologically produced active ingredients and thus the need for bioengineers is constantly increasing. However, other areas, such as life sciences and the development of sustainable, regenerative energy sources, are also becoming increasingly important.
