About the Program

Bioengineering is an interdisciplinary field where new materials and technologies with a wide variety of applications are developed with the help of both the natural sciences and engineering. Historical examples of early biotechnologies include cheese, wine and bread. Modern examples, however, involve engineering at the molecular-biological level to produce substances used in detergents and cosmetics, active pharmaceutical ingredients and medicines, raw chemical materials for industrial manufacturing, biofuels and even new varieties of plant species. The Bioengineering BSc programme is taught in English, and began in the winter semester 2012/2013 in Kleve. It has since achieved international recognition, particularly among students: over 60 countries are represented by the students currently pursuing their degree in this programme. The Bioengineering BSc programme prepares graduates for a variety of career paths in different sectors within the chemical, pharmaceutical or biotechnological industries as well as for careers in research. Bioengineers are typically found in government agencies, agrotechnology, the food industry, the environmental industry or in waste management. Depending on your branch and specialisation, you can look forward to many interesting roles and activities: managing industrial production processes, contributing to R&D of new chemical production processes, or performing analyses and evaluating the findings.
