Biofabrication

Engineers in biomedicine.

Biofabrication is an emerging technology in the field of medical engineering. In particular, additive production processes (such as 3D printing) are expected to make important contributions to technological progress in the near term – and so is biofabrication. The internationally oriented master’s programme Biofabrication is interdisciplinary in nature, representing an engineering
curriculum at the intersection of technology, chemistry, materials science, biology, and medicine. We offer you the opportunity to work in a research area at the cutting edge of medical innovation. Students profit from our conveniently located key labs, including those at Bayreuth’s Centre for Materials Science & Engineering (ZMW, TAO) and at the new Bavarian Polymer Institute.

A full range of resources.

The master’s programme Biofabrication is highly practice-oriented, offering you the opportunity to hone both your theoretical and practical skills. This combines with an excellent, far-reaching network of international partners in Australia, Thailand, France, the United States, the Netherlands, and Spain to give students plenty of ways to gain experience abroad. The curriculum, the instructors, and the involvement of selected international partner universities and research institutions in the areas of biomaterial research and biofabrication all help enable a smooth transition to further postgraduate studies or a demanding scientific career.

Your master plan.

At the end of the four-semester, English-taught programme, the University of Bayreuth awards the degree “Master of Science”, suffixed with “Biofabrication”. The objective of the master’s programme Biofabrication is to introduce you to interdisciplinary research topics and train you for a demanding, ethically responsible career as an engineer at the intersection of medicine and technology.

Let’s get started!

You have already earned a bachelor’s degree in materials science and engineering, engineering science, or an equivalent degree with 180 ECTS points. In addition, your English is at the level of “B 2”. Your German level should be basic (A1). You will also need to provide a 13-week industry internship and successfully complete the aptitude assessment process.

Once these requirements are matched, you are ready to “biofabricate”.

Start of studies: summer term or winter term.
