Course description

The natural world serves as a rich source of engineering inspiration. This idea forms the foundation of bionics, a term that merges "biology" and "technics" (engineering). In English, this approach is often referred to as biomimetics. The essence of biomimetics lies in learning from nature. The aim is to grasp the principles and systems behind natural constructions and apply them to technological systems and devices. This process can begin with a biological observation and lead to new devices. For instance, the aerodynamics of the falling maple seed "helicopter" inspired one of our teams to develop a new, silent, low-speed wind turbine. Alternatively, it can start with a technological need. Consider the control of an autonomous car being overtaken by a large truck. Our biomimeticists drew inspiration from the lateral line system of fish, which senses flow, to create a new flow-sensing system. This system detects the bow-wave of an approaching truck, enabling the car to react promptly. In both cases, the study subjects and study programs focus on understanding and replicating nature's ingenuity. By observing and learning from the natural world, we can develop innovative solutions that address modern engineering challenges.

Qualification Requirements

The three main requirements for admission to a master’s degree programme: A professionally qualifying first degree in the same or a related field to the desired master’s degree programme (required by § 49 section 7 of the Higher Education Act NRW(Hochschulgesetz)); The final cumulative grade for the professionally qualifying first degree must meet the minimum grade requirement set for the desired programme (refer to application process for master’s degree programmes); Language requirement: English language certificate for degree programmes taught in English, German language certificate for programmes in German. Please see application process for master’s degree programmes for more information.

Document Requirements

Please scan the following documents: your bachelor’s certificate with cumGPA (or, if not yet available, your final transcript with cumGPA proving that you have finished your studies) your module handbook or a description of the courses in your undergraduate studies a valid language certificate that meets the minimum language level requirement (see below) where appropriate: other documentation (for example of your internship, semester abroad, essay).
