BSc in Biomedical Engineering
Life Sciences represent one of the most dynamic and strategic areas of scientific and technological development worldwide. They include disciplines that place human beings at the center, such as healthcare, environment, nutrition, gene therapy, and biotechnology. Biomedical Engineering combines engineering principles with medicine and biology to develop innovative technologies aimed at improving human health and quality of life. Biomedical engineers design medical devices, instruments, materials, and systems for disease prevention, diagnosis, therapy, and rehabilitation, working closely with physicians, biologists, and other specialists.
The Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering is a three-year program (180 ECTS credits) designed to provide a strong foundation in engineering sciences, integrated with basic medical and biological knowledge.
First year: focuses on basic sciences (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry), which form the foundation for engineering problem-solving.
Second year: introduces core engineering subjects and the first discipline-specific courses in Biomedical Engineering.
Third year: covers key topics such as biomechanics, biochemistry, biomaterials, bioelectromagnetism, biomedical instrumentation and technologies.
In the third year, students may choose between a professional track with a professional internship in hospitals, clinical centers, or biomedical companies, or a propedeutic track, with a project-based course, aimed at students intending to continue with a Master’s degree.
Educational rules
Link Degree programme
Graduates in Biomedical Engineering have a multidisciplinary profile that allows either immediate entry into the job market or continuation of academic studies.
Biomedical engineers may work in public or private sectors, including biomedical and pharmaceutical industries, biotechnology and nanotechnology companies, hospitals and healthcare facilities, clinical engineering services, medical device design and manufacturing, technical support, sales, and consulting.
After completing the Bachelor’s degree, students may enroll in the Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering (offered in multiple specialized tracks), apply for double-degree or international Master’s programs, attend first-level Master’s programs, and sit the State Examination for professional engineering licensure.
