The sustainable biologisation of technical products, production processes and materials is one of society's mammoth tasks. The demand in industry and business for excellent engineers with creative skills and scientific know-how is enormous. In the new Bachelor's degree programme Bio-Materials Engineering, the Department of Mechanical Engineering supplements the classical contents of mechanical engineering with chemistry, biology and material sciences. Graduates will thus bring a completely new set of competencies to the engineering sciences. What else distinguishes the new degree program and who is it addressed to? The study coordinators Professor Andreas Blaeser and Professor Samuel Schabel about the new degree program.

Start in winter semester 2023/24 / Online application possible until 15.7.

The M.Sc. in Computer Science is compatible with Anglo-Saxon degrees with the same name and is particularly well-suited for prospective international students. Students can choose their major to be either Data Science and Engineering, Distributed Computing or Visual Computing. Who is the Master's program aimed at? Vice Chairperson of Academic Affairs Jan Peters on the special features of the program.

Robots are supposed to make more tasks easier for humans in the future. But how can we get them to independently master new tasks and cooperate with us? With the new Master's program Autonomous Systems and Robotics with German as language of instruction, the Department of Computer Science combines modern computer science methods with knowledge from classical engineering education. Through close cooperation with other relevant departments at the TU, the program offers a particularly diverse range of courses. What exactly awaits the students and what job opportunities do the graduates have? Professor Jan Peters from the Department of Computer Science provides answers about the new degree program.
