Why enrol?
# Technologies for the healthcare of the future
If your goal is to contribute to innovation in the healthcare sector, Medical Engineering is the ideal path. This degree programme prepares you to face the technological challenges transforming modern medicine: high‑tech biomedical devices, telemedicine systems, artificial intelligence applied to diagnostics, acquisition and processing of clinical data, and secure digital infrastructures for hospitals and health services.
Thanks to a solid grounding in core scientific subjects (mathematics, physics, computer science, chemistry, biochemistry, biology), in information engineering technologies and in medical disciplines, you will be able to understand, design and improve solutions that tangibly enhance people’s quality of life.
# True interdisciplinarity: engineering + medicine
Medical Engineering brings together two essential fields — engineering and medicine — in a truly multidisciplinary programme. Alongside the pillars of electronic, computer, biomedical, clinical and data‑security engineering, you will study anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, medical genetics, diagnostic imaging, monitoring systems and life‑support technologies, strategically positioned between core and specialised activities thanks to the flexibility allowed by Ministerial Decree 1648/2023.
The result? A unique professional profile capable of communicating with doctors, biologists, technicians and researchers, understanding clinical needs and translating them into effective technological solutions. A versatile profile sought after wherever technology meets patient care.
# Strongly growing career opportunities
The digital transformation of healthcare, the spread of monitoring technologies, the adoption of telemedicine platforms and the expansion of the medical device sector are generating an ever‑increasing demand for engineers with both technical and biomedical expertise.
Graduates in Medical Engineering find opportunities in:
- biomedical, biotechnological and pharmaceutical companies
- clinical engineering services in hospitals
- ICT and cybersecurity roles in healthcare
- consultancy firms in digital health, clinical data science and AI applied to medicine
- health technology assessment and intellectual property
This is a robust and rapidly expanding professional landscape, offering technical, design, experimental and managerial roles.
It is also an excellent starting point for those intending to continue with Master’s degrees in engineering or biomedical fields.
# Laboratories, projects and cutting‑edge technologies
From the first year, you will have access to modern, well‑equipped laboratories, highly practical courses, individual and group projects, hands‑on sessions and activities involving electronic devices, sensors, and medical signal and image processing.
You will also be able to:
- develop algorithms for biomedical data analysis
- programme microcontrollers for physiological signal acquisition
- work with anatomical, physiological and clinical models
- experiment with healthcare information systems and digital health applications
This practical experience enables you to transform theory into real competence, preparing you to tackle technological challenges in hospitals, companies and research centres.
# Global Challenges
Medical Engineering is at the heart of major transformations shaping our future. The programme prepares you to contribute to addressing crucial challenges such as:
- increasing demand for personalised care
- management and security of healthcare data
- remote monitoring and digital support for chronic patients
- development of innovative devices and materials for diagnostics, therapy and rehabilitation
- sustainability and efficiency of healthcare systems
