Our Bachelor's degree programmes combine teaching in small, personally supervised groups with practical quality requirements. You will receive a broad basic scientific and technical training with an in-depth study programme. Current links to business are ensured by the use of external assistant professors and externally funded projects. The academic success of students is increased through intensive exercises, work placements, tutorials and homework including monitoring. There is high practical relevance in the form of laboratory practicals and in the practical phase.

Our Master's programmes combine teaching in small, personally supervised groups with strong industrial practice in very well-equipped laboratories. You study on an interdisciplinary basis and can also choose modules from other departments at the Technology campus. You can study internationally in English at our university or at universities abroad. Participation in third-party funded projects enables the financing of studies. Our Master's thesis positions in industry offer a springboard into sought-after jobs, or you can go into research, e.g. via our doctoral programmes.

The Department of Physical Engineering has international cooperation partners in Australia, Brazil, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and the USA. The contacts are used by students for study abroad during the practical phase and for the degree thesis. In addition, there is a cooperation agreement with the UNSW Canberra for cooperative doctorates.

Due to the high level of third-party funding, the department has ultra-modern laboratory equipment which is also available to students in teaching. The laboratory equipment is continually expanded and improved through other quality improvement funding. Students can carry out their own projects in the makerspace of the Steinfurt Technology Campus, accompanied by a research assistant.

The Department of Physical Engineering is one of the strongest research departments at Münster University of Applied Sciences. Our laboratories focus on research in the fields of medical technology and ergonomics, biomechanics, biomechatronics with a focus on rehabilitation technology, the development of novel agents for medical applications, quantum optics and classical optics with a focus on the development of new solid-state lasers and adaptive optics, laser material processing, quantum technology, electron microscopy and sealing technology.

Graduates of the Department of Physics Engineering are in great demand on the job market. Professional prospects open up for our graduates in the field of innovative technologies in industry, in hospitals, in research, in sales and management.
