Crude oil, the most important raw material base of the past 100 years, will be less available in the future. Alternatives will soon become necessary, and this is where the Biomaterial Sciences come into play. Based on materials science, examples of developments, processes, and products of basic engineering materials will be presented in this degree course. In addition (and also in contrast to many other Biomaterial Sciences degree courses at other universities), the interface to biological systems is emphasized with courses on natural, biodegradable, and biocompatible materials as well as recycling and ecology aspects.
Some parts of the curriculum are not directly related to materials science. These parts of the curriculum allow the student important insights in economic science, integrated management systems, and cross-cultural competence. The main application fields following graduation include the leisure industry, the environmental industry, the aerospace, and automotive industries, medicine, and more. Successful graduates also qualify for the Bionics/Biomimetics graduate program offered at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences.

Altogether, the degree program consists of seven semesters of full-time study. A solid grounding in science and engineering is imparted in the first three semesters.
Following this, your knowledge will be enhanced in key specialist areas in the fourth and fifth semesters. During this time, students also choose elective courses to form a more robust and meaningful study profile. The sixth semester is dedicated to gathering practical work experience at a company or organization in the biomaterials field.
The seventh and last semester is for writing the thesis. Here, we also attach great importance to practical relevance and support collaborative theses with the private sector. Furthermore, the necessary skills for writing a thesis are provided in intense block courses during the seventh semester.
The study program concludes with an oral presentation on the research findings in the thesis.
