Biomedical Engineering for Global Health and Artificial Intelligence (in English)
The program trains biomedical engineers interested in understanding global challenges (i.e., pandemics, demographic changes, climate change), their impacts on global health and society, and how to control and minimize their negative impact through the use of innovative, sustainable and democratic technologies. The program was prepared in 2025, in close collaboration with experts from national and international non-profit organizations for public and global health (in particular the WHO), with companies producing medical devices and with companies that produce health information systems and medical software, and in particular artificial intelligence for health. In fact, the study plan offers the opportunity to deepen the sustainable and ethical use of artificial intelligence, including generative, for health and integral well-being, and offers a series of practical modules on the design and development of medical devices, medical apps, biomedical sensors, and systems for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). > Study plan
Biorobotics and Ergonomics (Italian, with some exams in English)
This program trains experts in the design and development of advanced machines, mechatronics and robotics, designed for synergic interaction with biological systems and, in particular, with humans and with a particular focus on health, well-being and rehabilitation. This interdisciplinary program combines the tools of ergonomics engineering to create innovative solutions that improve the quality of life of people with disabilities or temporary or permanent limitations, promoting their autonomy and social inclusion. Students will acquire advanced skills in the design of assistive technologies, robotic surgery and rehabilitation devices, as well as solid training in ergonomics and workplace safety. The curriculum also includes design for the smart factory and the use of advanced technologies for robotics, ensuring a comprehensive and up-to-date preparation. The program offers strong connections with leading companies and research centers in the sector, both nationally and internationally, allowing students to gain practical experience and come into contact with the latest technological innovations > Study plan
Clinical Engineering (Italian, with some exams in English)
The course provides skills to manage medical technologies in a clinical environment, from their evaluation, choice, testing, effective and safe use, management, maintenance, decommissioning and disposal. The Degree Course works in close collaboration with the clinical engineering of our hospital polyclinic, has access to the new simulation center inaugurated in 2024, and in 2025 it was equipped with new biomedical measurement instruments and laboratories, teaching and research, for biomedical measurements and for clinical engineering, to allow students to deepen their theoretical and practical knowledge of medical devices, hospital systems, instrumentation for diagnosis and therapy, and healthcare processes. Graduates find employment in medical device companies, in healthcare companies, health agencies, and as specialized consultants. > Study plan
Nanotechnology and Bioartificial Systems (Italian, with some exams in English)
The program provides theoretical and practical skills for the analysis and design of advanced technologies at the micro and nano scale, on the analysis and synthesis of materials for bioengineering and biotechnology, and on the interface between natural and artificial. The program uses laboratories for biofabrication, additive manufacturing, nanotechnology and tissue engineering laboratories. Teachers are heavily involved in the research and development of artificial intelligence systems for nanomedicine and tissue engineering, and apply these skills directly in practical teaching modules and laboratories. Graduates work mainly in research centers, in the biotechnology sector, in the pharmaceutical sector, in the chemical field and for the production of biomaterials. > Study plan
Internship and thesis opportunities
The Degree Course offers an unprecedented number of internship and thesis opportunities, in collaboration with companies and research centers with which the professors have been collaborating for years. In fact, the professors put at the service of the students their long track record of professional, research and training collaborations with the main Italian healthcare and hospital companies, with the best research centers, the major organizations for public and global health, and with national and international companies in the sector, offering students a significant possibility of choosing internships, collaborations and job placement in Europe and around the world. In 2025 alone, for example, the University signed 30 new research and teaching collaboration agreements with universities in Africa and Asia, and tripled the number of research and innovation projects in the field of medical devices and artificial intelligence for human and environmental health and well-being, funded by the European Commission, the World Health Organization (WHO) and through the largest European Public-Private Partnership (PPP) - Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) - co-financed by the industrial consortia of greatest interest for biomedical engineering: COCIR, MedTech Europe, Vaccines Europe, EuropaBio and EFPIA (European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations).
