Master’s Degree in Biomedical Sciences

The Master's Degree in Biomedical Sciences is offered by the Department of Biosciences, Biotechnology and Environment (DBBA) of the University of Bari Aldo Moro. It has two curricula: the diagnostic one, on biological processes and investigation methodologies, and the nutritional one, on nutritional composition and quality. It integrates lectures, practical laboratory activities and seminars, with a training internship and final exam. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The course is two-year, structured in years and semesters, full-time in person. The language is Italian, with knowledge of English B2 or another EU language required for access. The training internship is compulsory and included in the pathway.

The aim is to train professionals who are experts in the management, analysis and protection of health in biomedical and nutritional fields. The career opportunities are analysis laboratories, research centres, food companies and public and private bodies, as well as access to doctorates and specialisation schools. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
