Bioengineering

About this programme

Please note : free access, subject to verification of admission requirements and personal academic background . The degree course trains versatile professionals, capable of working in the numerous application, research and innovation domains in the medical-biological field, which by nature require interdisciplinary skills. The fields of application in which you will put your knowledge into practice are varied: neuro-technologies, rehabilitation and assistive technologies, cybernetic and bio-inspired systems, biomaterials, engineered cells and tissues, instrumentation and diagnostic systems, clinical engineering, health information systems, e-health and m-health. In industry, a bioengineer develops medical devices, medical-surgical devices, in-vitro diagnostics systems and health technologies. Many bioengineers find employment in innovative start-ups and some become entrepreneurs themselves. In healthcare facilities, research institutes and rehabilitation centres, bioengineers may manage technical services and measurement laboratories. A significant fraction of graduates continue their studies with a PhD. technologies, methods, models for the analysis and rehabilitation of human performance mechanical properties, cell and molecular biology, gene techniques and therapies Neuro-electronic interfaces, computational neuroscience and neuromorphic engineering Approximately 40% of students do their thesis work in companies or research organisations outside the university. The degree course in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Genoa was, together with that of the P
