Biomedical Engineering

Overview

The master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from Marche Polytechnic University starts from the basic knowledge acquired by students during the 3-year bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering and deepens and integrates such knowledge with advanced and specialized knowledge in both traditional and innovative biomedical sectors. The goal is to form a multivariate professional figure able to act properly in companies, in clinical/healthcare facilities and in research contexts.

What you'll study

To provide a courses as close as possible to the market demand, the master's degree in Biomedical Engineering offers the student the opportunity to choose between two curricula, the eHealth and Clinical Engineering curriculum, which deals with issues concerning the digital approach to medicine and health as well as themes typical of clinical engineering; and the Engineering of Medical Devices curriculum, which deals with issues concerning the industrial production of medical devices.

Employment Opportunities:

The professional fields of graduates in Biomedical Engineering are extremely varied and rapidly changing. It is foreseeable that they address to interlocutors of various kinds (in health, industry, services, etc.) who will have to analyze, quantify, monitor, optimize the impact of technologies on biological phenomena and on humans. The professional figure that derives from the Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering can find employment opportunities in the following industrial/health sectors:

• in public and private health facilities, in biomedical engineering services (or clinical engineering/biomedical technologies), in the world of motor rehabilitation, sport, physical exercise and entertainment/fitness;
• computer applications relating to the processing of biomedical and bioimaging data, genomics and health telematics applications;
• the production and marketing industries of: special materials, prostheses/orthoses, implantable and portable devices, robotic systems for the biomedical sector, and equipment for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and monitoring;
• the pharmaceutical and food industry regarding the quantification of the interaction between drugs/substances and biological parameters;
• the manufacturing industry in general as regards the ergonomics of products/processes and the impact of technologies on human health.

Learning opportunities

Beside the conventional modality of teaching, which consists in frontal lecturing, the master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering will also implement telematic teaching through e-learning platforms (Moodle - Learning Management System).
