Master in Biomedical Engineering

For Master in Biomedical Engineering, tuition fees are 3,000 EUR per year.

Biomedical engineering applies engineering principles and methods to problems in medicine and biology, designing technologies that support diagnosis, treatment, and biological research. Students in this field typically study biomechanics, biomaterials, medical imaging, and physiological modeling, alongside coursework in electronics, signal processing, and instrumentation as applied to healthcare technologies. The discipline connects engineering training with an understanding of human physiology and clinical needs. Typical subjects include the design of medical devices and prosthetics, biomedical signal and image processing, biomaterials for implants and tissue engineering, and the regulatory processes involved in bringing medical technologies to clinical use. Students often work on projects that require translating engineering concepts into tools usable in clinical or research settings. Career paths for biomedical engineering graduates include roles in medical device companies, hospital clinical engineering departments, research institutions, and regulatory bodies overseeing medical technology. Some pursue further research through doctoral study, while others move into product development or healthcare technology consulting. This master's program in Biomedical Engineering is offered by Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, located in Bologna, Italy. It runs for two years and is taught in English, allowing international students to pursue the field without needing Italian language proficiency. Admission is open access, requiring candidates to hold a bachelor's degree or an equivalent qualification. Students typically enter with an undergraduate background in engineering, physics, or a related technical field, applying that foundation to the interdisciplinary study of how engineering methods can address problems in medicine and biology.
