The student can choose between three different curricula:

• Biomedical Engineering for Neuroscience;

• Innovative Technologies in Diagnostics and Therapy;

• Bioengineering of Human Movement.

Curriculum I: Biomedical Engineering for Neuroscience – Neuroscience is a discipline at the cutting edge of the present scientific research. It makes largely use of advanced methods from Biomedical Engineering (such as signal and image processing, neural network models, neurorobotics) to investigate neural aspects in physiology and clinics. This curriculum provides the student with the basic knowledge and the main instruments necessary to cooperate with neuroscientists, and to work on all theoretical and practical aspects of Neuroscience in a multidisciplinary context.

Curriculum II: Innovative Technologies in Diagnostics and Therapy – Biomedical instrumentation, and diagnostic and therapeutic methods in clinics are subject to a rapid technological evolution. This curriculum provides the student with the basic knowledge and the main instruments to work on the advanced technological aspects of clinical problems (like imaging, cardiology, tissue and molecular engineering) and to design innovative methods for diagnosis and therapy.

Curriculum III: Bioengineering of Human Movement – The biomechanics of human movement is receiving increasing attention in recent years, for its important implications in many clinical and scientific domains, such as rehabilitation medicine, prosthesis design, sport medicine, age medicine. This curriculum provides the student with the basic knowledge and the main instruments necessary to work in a multidisciplinary context, where clinical and theoretical problems of human movement are addressed.

N. B. Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, lessons may be offered in two formats, online and front lectures. Students are recommended to check the website back often.

Admission to the second cycle degree/two year master in Biomedical Engineering requires possession of a bachelor’s degree or three-year university diploma, or anyother degree obtained abroad, recognised as suitable.

English language skills (B2 level), based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages

Regarding language skills, the adequacy of personal preparation for admission to the international course requires knowledge of English at least at level B-2 (with reference to the CEFR). Assessment of language knowledge and skills is considered to be fulfilled for students in possession of linguistic certification (such as TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge Esol, ..) corresponding to level B-2 or higher.

To set up the internship you must participate in one of the following international mobility programmes:

• Erasmus+ Mobility for traineeships
  This is the EU-promoted mobility programme enabling students to do a work placement abroad benefiting by a financial contribution.
• Erasmus+  Programme – Unipharma Graduates Project
  Mobility grants for traineeship abroad in European chemical, biological, biotechnological, pharmaceutical and pharmacological research centres to students and PHD students enrolled at one of Unipharma Graduates Project Partner Universities.
• Erasmus+ Programme – North South Traineeship Project
  Mobility grants for traineeship abroad in European enterprises, educational and research centres to students and PHD students enrolled at one of North South Traineeship Project Partner Universities.
• Erasmus+ Programme ” Sara Lab Project” Consortium 
  Mobility grants for students and Phd students enrolled at one of the Sara-Lab Consortium Partner Universities for traineeships in European companies, training and research centres in the field of Data Science and Big Data.
• Vulcanus Programme Europe-Japan
  Programme offering European students the possibility to do an internship in a Japanese industry.

A fixed fee (€ 156.00) and a remaining amount of tuition calculated on the basis of a sliding scale. Tuition fees are calculated based on the 2020 ISEE value with special subsidies in relation to the right to higher education.
With an ISEE value up to € 23,000, first year students and students that meet merit requirements are totally exempted from paying tuition fees.

Admission to thesecond cycle degree/two-year master programme requires candidates to pass anassessment of personal knowledge and skills.

The assessment of personal knowledge is considered complete, for those in possession of an Italian degree, in the presence of at least one of the following criteria:

i) Degree or University Diploma according to the previous regulations, with at least 24 CFU in the scientific-disciplinary sectors ING-INF/06 and ING-IND/34 and a Degree/Diploma mark equal to at least 85/110 or equivalent at the expiry date of the intake for the academic year of enrolment;

ii) Degree or University Diploma according to the previous regulations, with a minimum Degree/Diploma grade equal to at least 95/110 or equivalent at the expiry date of the intake for the academic year of enrolment.

For those not yet in possession of an Italian degree, the verification of personal preparation is considered complete in the presence of at least one of the following criteria:

i) Having passed exams with an amount of credits at least 162 CFU and a weighted average of at least 23/30, and at least 24 CFU in the SSD ING-INF/06 and ING-IND/34;

ii) Having passed exams with an amount of credits at least 162 CFU and a weighted average of at least 26/30.

The criteria described in this paragraph also apply to those who are in possession of a university level qualification obtained abroad, deemed suitable by the Degree Program Board, for which the conversion of the degree grade according to the Italian system, the identification of the scientific-disciplinary sectors and the number of credits obtained in each sector are possible. If conversion and/or identification are not possible, the Commission appointed by the Degree Program Council proceeds to the evaluation of the career based on the documentation presented by the candidate.

If the above conditions are not met (in whole or in part), the verification of the adequacy of the personal preparation is to be considered as not accepted.

In the case of the presence of real elements of exceptionality, evidenced by specific documentation, the Commission appointed by the Degree Program Board will be able to define an alternative assessment path, always based on the analysis of the degree grade and of the previous career, after which it will formulate an unquestionable judgment regarding admission to the course of study.
