[display qualification goals] ID short description qualification goal last change Q1 Knowledge and Understanding Graduates have built on the skills and competencies acquired through an initial professionally qualifying higher education degree in the fields of neurotechnology and neuroscience. They possess detailed, in-depth knowledge of the interfaces between the human nervous system, as well as technical applications and software solutions for recording and processing psychophysiological data. They will also be able to expand this knowledge independently and, building on this foundation, identify problems and develop, implement and test technical solutions in accordance with scientific standards in diagnostics, for the control of human-machine interfaces and for electrically active implants. 17.06.2026 HQR-Bezug Qualifikationsziel Q1 Wissen und Verstehen Einsatz, Erzeugung und Anwendung von Wissen Kommunikation und Kooperation wissenschaftliches Selbstverständnis / Professionalität X Q2 Communication and cooperation, professionalism: Graduates are able to carry out project management tasks and contribute constructively to teamwork. They are able to work in interdisciplinary and international teams, particularly with medical professionals, and to communicate with them in a manner appropriate to the field. They can convincingly present and explain their work results to both expert and non-expert audiences. 17.06.2026 HQR-Bezug Qualifikationsziel Q2 Wissen und Verstehen Einsatz, Erzeugung und Anwendung von Wissen Kommunikation und Kooperation wissenschaftliches Selbstverständnis / Professionalität X Q3 Application and generation of knowledge Graduates are able to address medical, neurotechnological and neuroscientific problems using appropriate methodologies and in accordance with the standards of good scientific practice. They are familiar with the current state of the literature in their field as well as selected research questions. They will be able to independently expand their specialist knowledge in the field of neural engineering. Furthermore, the graduates will be able to apply appropriate scientific methods to develop and optimise products and processes in neural engineering and biomedical technology. 17.06.2026 HQR-Bezug Qualifikationsziel Q3 Wissen und Verstehen Einsatz, Erzeugung und Anwendung von Wissen Kommunikation und Kooperation wissenschaftliches Selbstverständnis / Professionalität X Q4 Academic self-awareness, professionalism: Graduates are able to take into account the business, regulatory, clinical and ethical implications of medical and neurotechnological solutions. They are able to reflect on their social responsibility when implementing medical and neurotechnological solutions. 17.06.2026 HQR-Bezug Qualifikationsziel Q4 Wissen und Verstehen Einsatz, Erzeugung und Anwendung von Wissen Kommunikation und Kooperation wissenschaftliches Selbstverständnis / Professionalität X
