The degree program aims at training engineering professionals who are capable of operating in numerous application, research and innovation domains in the medical-biological field, which naturally require inter-disciplinary skills.

You will achieve knowledge and skills that are applicable in different domains: neuro-technologies, rehabilitation and assistive technologies, cybernetic and bio-inspired systems, biomaterials, engineered tissues and cells, medical instruments and diagnostic systems, clinical engineering, health information systems, e-health and m-health.

The course combines lectures with:

• lab activities and development of projects on cutting-edge areas, often in collaboration with external institutions
• internships in research labs, clinical facilities and rehabilitation centers
• seminars and supplementary courses taught by industry professionals.

In the industrial sector, a bioengineer develops medical and surgical devices, in-vitro diagnostic systems and healthcare technologies. Many bioengineers find employment in innovative start-ups and some become entrepreneurs themselves. In clinical facilities, research institutes and rehabilitation centers, bioengineers can manage technical services and diagnostic laboratories. A significant fraction of graduates enrolls in PhD programs.

Application of new technologies and new scientific discoveries requires a dialogue between different disciplines. The Master's degree program in Bioengineering helps to develop a distinctly intersectoral, multidisciplinary attitude, naturally aimed at innovation.

The degree program aims at consolidating physical, mathematical and engineering skills and knowledge in the life sciences field, and to provide specialistic skills in the area of bioengineering.

You will learn to describe, simulate and analyze systems and signals of interest for medicine and biology. You will learn about biomaterials, devices and instrumentation for diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation and the molecular, cellular and cognitive basis of human perception and behavior. You will learn about the organization of patient management and assistance structures, the information systems used in them and the related ethical implications.

The course is aimed at graduates in Biomedical Engineering or in other Industrial and Information Engineering fields, but is also accessible to graduates from the various sectors of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences.

The development of personal skills and abilities will be expressed especially during thesis work, to which the last semester is almost entirely dedicated.

The course will also provide you with an ability to relate and interact with professionals with a variety of skills and cultural backgrounds.

The course is organized into two tracks. Each track offers two curricula:

• Track T1: Neuroengineering (in English)
  • Curriculum T1C1: Neuroengineering and Neurotechnologies
  • Curriculum T1C2: Rehabilitation Engineering and Interaction Technologies
• Track T2: Engineering for Personalized Medicine (in English)
  • Curriculum T2C1: Materials and Devices for personalized medicine
  • Curriculum T2C2: Information and Communication Technologies for Personalized Medicine
