Universities and Schools of Applied Sciences that Offer Courses in Bionics


The following section lists all cities and institutions, where you can study bionics or related disciplines as part of a tertiary education. If your institution offers any courses or internships with relation to bionics, please send us an e-mail with a short description and possibly some links. We will then publish this information on our website (e-mail to studium@biokon.net).

		RWTH Aachen Technical University of the Rhine-Palatinate and Westphalia Bionics Center of Aachen Lecture Series on Bionics I (winter semester):, 2 lectures and 1 tutorial per week: Introduction and methods of biology and engineering This lecture and the accompanying tutorial will introduce the essential terminology of the various participating institutes and disciplines so that a common communication platform is established. Content of Lecture Series I Lecture Series on Bionics I (summer semester):, 2 lectures and 1 tutorial per week: Building on the lecture series of the winter semester, this lecture series has a thematic focus on concrete problems and their biological and technical realization. Content of Lecture Series II Seminar on Bionics (summer semester):, 2 tutorials per week: The seminar is based on discussion, i.e. all participants prepare texts, which are presented and are subsequently the topic of a moderated discussion. Content of the seminar Lab Course Neuro-Bionics: 4 weeks, whole day: Modeling bi-neural processing, 1 week Prof. Wagner and Laurent Calmes, Institute of Biology II Bio-hybrid technology, 2 weeks T.

		Hochschule Gelsenkirchen - Bionik B.Sc.

		Universität Bonn Im folgenden sind einige Lehrveranstaltungen an der Universität Bonn beschrieben, die sich entweder ganz der Bionik widmen oder zumindest einen Bezug zur Bionik herstellen. Leider bieten wir bisher kein Bionik Studium an. Sollten sie sich für Bionik interessieren und wollen in Bonn studieren, können sie im Rahmen des normalen Biologie Studiums die Lehrveranstaltungen besuchen, die wir ihnen auf den folgenden Internetseite empfehlen. Zudem ist es nach Absprache möglich, Laborblöcke sowie Diplom- und Doktorarbeiten bionisch auszurichten. Sollten sie Student an der Universität Bonn sein und sich für einen Laborblock, eine Diplomarbeit o.ä. mit bionischem Inhalt interessieren, dann können sie gerne jederzeit bei uns nachfragen, auch wenn keine Themen ausgeschrieben sein sollten.

		School of Applied Sciences of Bremen The School of Applied Sciences of Bremen offers the worldwide unique International Course in Bionics (ISB) with an academic degree as Bachelor of Science. The normal course duration is seven semesters and contains six modularly structured study semesters plus an integrated semester abroad in the 5th semester. The course is concluded with exams and a bachelor thesis project. Get the brochure on the course in bionics at the School of Applied Science of Bremen.

		Technical University of Darmstadt The interdisziplinary major field of study Biotechnik cannot be started in the winter term 2008/2009 at the TU Darmstadt, there are only single events available. Contact person: Sandra Lautenschläger at the centrer of interdisziplinary graduate school programme (CISP) at the TU Darmstadt.

		University of Freiburg In Freiburg, bionics is part of the post grad courses in Functional Morphology and Biomechanics . The exact papers and courses vary from year to year. In 2004, the following lectures and seminars were held: Lecture with practical exercises: six hours on plant bionics as part of the class Functional Morphology and Biomechanics of Plants II (2004/2005 together with Dr. Gorb, MPI Stuttgart) Seminar: Modern Methods of Utilizing Plants, Biotechnology, Biomimetics with five topics regarding bionics (together with Prof. Dr. Schneider, PH Freiburg). More information: Dr. Deane Harder

		School of Applied Sciences Heidelberg The School of Applied Sciences Heidelberg intended to offer bionics as a specialization for mechanical engineering courses in winter 2003/2004.

		Technical University of Ilmenau At the TU Ilmenau, bionics is taught at the newly established department of biomechatronics of the faculty of structural engineering. Classes in bionics can be taken in combination with courses in mechanics and electronics.

		Hochschule Rhein-Waal - Bionics/Biomimetics M.Sc

		Hachhochschule Kärnten At the beginning of the 21 century our industrial society is confronted with major challenges in regard to energy and environment. Using new insights from the developing cross-sectional discipline Biomimetics, we can utilize strategies and procedures which have been successfully developed by nature over four billion years of evolution. The international Master program "Bionik / Biomimetics in Energy Systems" focuses international for the first time on the area of Biomimetics and Energy. Bionik/Biomimetics in Energy Systems (Master)
