The young people of 2024 protagonists of a choice as complex as it is decisive, that of the University and the degree course, move in a context of uncertainty, keep it going innovation digital, with Artificial Intelligence which is revolutionizing reality, and an endless one offer of new courses university. What does it mean to choose a degree course today? What characteristics should the path have and what perspectives will it direct the student towards? What is it really necessary to study today and what knowledge will we use in the near future? Here are the seven value points for making a choice you won't regret.

Rome, 15 February 2024 - They will leave for Rome, from June, the only Italian Summer Schools in medicine and ingengineering for third and fourth year high school students. A one-week journey, also in a residential formula, at the headquarters ofUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma (UCBM), to fully enjoy the university experience and make an informed choice about your study path. Five appointments in June to create a unique experience that will allow over 300 young people to choose their future degree course without uncertainty.

Declining birth rates, skills gaps and poor investments are putting Italy faced with complex scenarios in terms of competitiveness, especially in the most technologically rich production sectors. This is reflected in the difficulty many companies have in sourcing ingegneri experts in cybersecurity, professionals artificial intelligence but also doctors capable of using new technologies in hospitals and in pharmaceutical and chemical companies.

In fact, according to Unioncamere data, it imbalance between supply and demand of doctors is at 47,3% in 2022 (up approximately nine points compared to 2021). With tips which, in some cases (medical-dental address), reach 68,7% difficulty in finding figures. Around 60% unavailability instead some specializations are positioned ingengineering. 

If for young people and families the choice of degree course is a fundamental step, today it takes on even greater value. Getting your bearings well is now essential: the new degree courses are increasingly diversified in their approaches, they focus on green and digital and above all they increase in number every year. In the academic year 2023/24 they reached 5.500, with 200 more courses than in 2022/23. There are 2.532 three-year courses, 2.618 master's degree courses and 350 single-cycle master's degrees. There are many new courses oriented towards environmental sustainability and artificial intelligence.

So what knowledge and skills should doctors and professionals have ingengineers of tomorrow? Where will they work? Will they be able to handle the most advanced technologies such as robots, biomedical equipment and artificial intelligence? Will they be able to understand people's needs and have that humanity and empathy that make the difference in patient care?

From the Summer School UCBM here come the seven points of value to make an informed choice to guarantee your future.

  1. Summer School means living for a week fully enjoy the university like a real student;
  2. Il comparison with their peers helps you get to know each other better to discover your study interests;
  3. Dialogue with university professors it helps to clarify one's doubts about the future path and to express one's passions;
  4. Enter the laboratories to see scientists and instruments is a unique experience that stimulates curiosity and resourcefulness;
  5. Attend classrooms and university spaces means “to grow up” for a week;
  6. Le fun and recreational activities on the program will allow you to discover the fun side of the university years;
  7. At the end of the route the university choice will be made with greater confidence and awareness.

Summer schools UCBM they will be organized along a rich calendar of events, modular and fully adaptable to summer holiday programmes, useful for orienting oneself in the complex panorama of the offer of degree courses in the medical and STEM fields. Registrations are open with early bird until March 31st on summerschool.unicampus.it/.

Summer School dates:

Medicine 10-14 June 2024

Medicine 24-28 June 2024

Ingengineering 10-14 June 2024

Medicine and Surgery 17-21 June 2024

On the path to “Medicine” it will be possible to follow real lessons on anatomy, oncology, neurology, histology, biology, physiology and use the Microscopy laboratory or the Anatomical Table under the guidance of prestigious teachers;

In the course in “Medicine and Surgery” (degree course in lingua inglese) will alternate lessons, exercises and simulations in the classroom to discover the link between the Medicine of the future and the new Technologies to become the "Doctor-ingMedTech engineer”. Furthermore, there will be a mini-course aimed at providing innovative study methodologies and preparation for logic questions, a great support for passing the future admission test;

On the path in “Ingengineering" lessons with teachers UCBM will offer the opportunity to learn about medical robotics, the latest developments inInggreen engineering for sustainable development and the importance of artificial intelligence in the various branches ingengineering. And it will be possible to attend practical lessons organized by the Robotics and Electronics Research Units, experiencing the research laboratories firsthand.

THEUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma is a university specialized in "Science for man" with its 14 degree courses in Medicine and Surgery in Italian and inglese, Medtech for the doctor-ingengineer, in healthcare matters (nursing, physiotherapy and more), in IngBiomedical engineering, Chemistry for Sustainable Development, Intelligent Systems and in the topics of nutrition and the food supply chain.
