Fachhochschule Dortmund is making access to its Bachelor's degree program in Biomedical Engineering(Opens in a new tab) easier: the numerus clausus (NC) will no longer apply from the 2024/25 winter semester. This will enable more prospective students to start their career in one of the most innovative fields of information technology.
Medicine without technology is no longer conceivable today. Biomedical engineering has developed into a key technology that combines engineering knowledge with medical, technical and biological expertise. The focus is on people's health. "Removing the NC is an important step towards enabling even more talented applicants to gain access to our study program," says Prof. Dr. Frank Gustrau, Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology. "Our close cooperation with leading companies in the industry guarantees a tailor-made education and the best career prospects."
The study program comprises six semesters and leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. Alternatively, the course can be extended to seven semesters and combined with a practical semester or a semester abroad. Applications for the winter semester are currently still possible. Lectures begin at the end of September.
New focus areas in the Bachelor's degree course in Information Technology
At the same time, Fachhochschule Dortmund has also reorganized its Bachelor's degree course in Information Technology(Opens in a new tab) and tailored it to the needs of the digitalized world. In addition to the basics in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous systems, data analysis, augmented and virtual reality and human-computer interaction, the Bachelor's degree course in Information Technology at Fachhochschule Dortmund now enables students to specialize in three specialized fields of study. The Digital Technologies specialization focuses on intelligent and smart devices, cloud computing and cyber security. Smart Mobility focuses on modern mobility concepts that are revolutionizing the transport sector. The focus on robotics provides in-depth knowledge on the development of technologies in various areas, from industrial automation and robots in disaster scenarios to assistance systems in the healthcare sector. Here, too, Fachhochschule Dortmund attaches great importance to practical and project-oriented training and cooperates closely with renowned partners from industry and Business Studies.
With around 13,500 students, Fachhochschule Dortmund is one of the largest universities of applied sciences in Germany. It offers around 70 study programs in eight faculties - full-time, part-time, part-time and dual.
