Microsystems, MEMS or micromachines – many names for an exciting and dynamic engineering discipline which combines expertise from areas as diverse as electrical and mechanical engineering, materials, life sciences and many more.

With 22 professors and about 300 research and technical staff, our Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK) is one of the world’s largest academic institutions in this field. We are dedicated to interdisciplinary high-tech research with a strong focus on its application.

During the first year, you have five mandatory courses (Micro-electronics, Micro-mechanics, Microsystems Technologies and Processes, Microsystems Design Lab I as well as Signal Processing). In addition, you will choose five out of eight compulsory elective courses.

Specialization

You can specialize in one of the following areas:

  • Circuits and Systems
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials and Fabrication
  • Photonics

Please note:
From the summer semester 2020 on there may be deviations from individual regulations of the admission regulations, selection and entrance examination regulations as well as the study and examination regulations from the Corona Statutes [de].

Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.

Central Academic Advising Office


The central academic advisory service - the Central Academic Advising Office (ZSB) provides information and advice on all questions that may arise prior to, at the beginning of, and during a course of study. If you are seeking subject-specific advice in addition to this, you can also contact the respective subject academic advisor.
