Biomedical Engineering Postgraduate (LM-21)

he Biomedical Engineering Degree Program (class L 8) is taught entirely in English and is designed to train professionals capable of working in highly diverse and rapidly evolving manufacturing environments, such as the biomedical sector. The degree program aims to develop professionals capable of working in the public and private sectors, filling roles ranging from junior designer to expert user of biomedical technologies . The program also offers opportunities for graduates to pursue Master's or University Master's degrees, further enhancing their skills through highly qualified programs in specific fields.

The degree program uses engineering methodologies and technologies to describe, understand, and solve medical-biological problems through close interdisciplinary collaboration between the University's Departmental Faculties of Engineering and Medicine and Surgery . Interaction with the environment, the engineering of new materials, prosthetics and artificial organs, biomedical equipment and instrumentation, the processing of biomedical images and signals, and ICT applications represent a key contribution to progress, stimulating significant investment and creating job opportunities. The initial part of the program (first and second years) is strongly oriented toward basic preparation, in which students acquire the essential elements of the scientific disciplines that form the indispensable foundation of engineering studies. In addition to basic mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the first year also includes Physiology and Anatomy (taught by faculty from the Departmental Faculty of Medicine and Surgery), which forms the foundation for the specific content of subsequent biomedical engineering courses. In the final part of the course (third year), students are provided with up-to-date tools and methods for solving analysis/design problems relevant to Biomedical Engineering. The methodological rigor of the core courses is designed to develop students' aptitude for logical-scientific reasoning.

Among the teaching activities, as with all the University's undergraduate and graduate programs, are courses that aim to provide conceptual tools, borrowed from ethical, deontological, epistemological, and historical-philosophical principles and methods, which contribute to the development of a critical mind in the student.
