Introduction
The master's degree program in Biomedical Engineering is an English language international course designed to prepare students to pursue diversified careers in the biomedical engineering field, such as those related to research and development in the medical devices field, to the production and management of health services, technologies, and facilities. In this course, students are asked to improve and deepen their skills in traditional engineering disciplines and to develop more specialized aspects of the biomedical field.
Students are immersed in a lively international environment in which frontal teaching is paralleled by numerous laboratory experiences aimed at developing experimental skills and attaining problem-solving, teamwork and decision-making skills.
This organization and the use of the English language make graduates with a Biomedical Engineering degree appealing to the labour market, as shown by the employment rate at one year from graduation, which is 100%.
Admissions
Curriculum
- The first year is dedicated to achieving skills and knowledge in the fields of mathematics, physical-chemical-biological disciplines and basic knowledge of programming and data analysis;
- The second year aims to provide the fundamental skills specific to industrial and information engineering, and the contextual skills necessary to allow their correct application in the medical-biological field;
- The third year allows one to deepen skills specific to biomedical engineering, and legal-economic knowledge. In this third year, laboratory activities on the present disciplines are also provided, dedicated to the consolidation of know-how in the context of biomedical engineering.
The Degree Course allows students to choose in the second year one of two alternative curricula, dedicated respectively to the application of communication and information technologies to the resolution of problems of medical-biological interest, or to the in-depth knowledge of technologies and processes in the clinical field
At the end of the training course, the graduate in Biomedical Engineering will be able to effectively continue his/her training course in the master's degree courses: in particular, by deepening the skills in the studied field through enrollment in master's degree courses in the Biomedical Engineering class (LM-21), considering, in any case, that the skills and knowledge acquired may be useful for continuing in other master's degree courses in the fields of Industrial and Information Engineering.
Program Outcome
The master's program, designed to provide the students with the skills needed to draw this complex and constantly evolving professional profile, is characterized by the following points:
- Fundamentals – Gain in-depth knowledge of the engineering theoretical and technical-scientific bases and develop the ability to apply them in the field of biomedical science.
- Advances – Deepen knowledge in selected aspects of biomedical engineering and healthcare technology.
- Design – Devise, design and realize systems able to advance knowledge in all aspects of human health and to improve life quality.
- Lab Experience – Provide the hands-on skills required to design, carry out and manage experiments, tests and validations.
- Multidisciplinarity – Be able to apply the engineering methods and principles to medicine and biology, through an inter-disciplinary approach to problem-solving.
- Soft Skills – Strengthen transversal skills, including language, communication and information management. Stimulate teamwork, problem-solving, and decision-making.
Career Opportunities
The multidisciplinary training will help the graduates from the Biomedical Engineering Master's program play a leading role in the following careers:
- companies in the medical devices sector;
- companies in the pharmaceutical, robotics, and ma-machine interface sectors;
- national and international research centres;
- health services companies;
- public administrations;
- health facilities.
Why study at Roma Tre University
The Department of Industrial, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering of the University of Roma Tre has activated, starting from the 2023-2024 academic year, a new interclass Degree Course in Biomedical Engineering.
The course is aimed at training a biomedical engineer who masters the methods and techniques of industrial and information engineering, contextual sciences, and the legal and economic framework, necessary to interpret the observed phenomena and data, and to formulate models and approaches to solve problems.
The graduate in Biomedical Engineering will be able to carry out analysis and study activities of functions connected with the production of goods and the provision of services in the health sector, and technologies for the protection of health and well-being:
- product manager in the biomedical field;
- technical manager in the design of medical devices;
- healthcare information systems officer, quality services, safety, healthcare organization;
- responsible for managing the instrumentation park in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology fields.
For the complete definition of such a characterized profile, it was considered appropriate to create an educational path that takes into consideration the requirements belonging to the Degree Classes of Information Engineering (class L-8) and Industrial Engineering (class L-9).
