Biomedical Engineering

The Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering is an advanced programme that combines engineering, medicine, biology, and data-driven technologies. It prepares graduates to develop solutions for healthcare and life sciences, including technologies for disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and personalised medicine.

Students develop advanced scientific, analytical, design, and research skills in areas such as:

• Biomaterials, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.

• Advanced biomechanics and rehabilitation technologies.

• Cellular and molecular bioengineering.

• Medical devices and biomedical instrumentation.

• Biomedical imaging and biological-signal processing.

• Computational modelling, simulation, and data analysis.

• Personalised and precision medicine technologies.

Specialisation Tracks

Students can tailor their studies through several tracks:

• Biomechanics and Biomaterials: Mechanical behaviour of biological systems, prostheses, implants, and biomaterials.

• Biotechnologies, Cells, and Tissues: Cellular engineering, tissue regeneration, and molecular technologies.

• Electronic Technologies: Sensors, medical instruments, electronics, and healthcare devices.

• Information Bioengineering: Biomedical data, signals, imaging, software, and computational methods.

• Clinical Engineering: Management and application of healthcare technologies; places are limited and generally reserved for graduates with an Italian Biomedical Engineering Bachelor’s degree.

The programme is suitable for careers in medical-device companies, biotechnology, hospitals, research institutions, pharmaceutical industries, digital health, and biomedical innovation. It also provides preparation for doctoral studies and research-oriented careers.
