Master’s Degree in Medical Engineering

The Master's Degree in Medical Engineering is offered by the University of Bergamo and is entirely in English. It integrates biomedical, industrial and computer engineering with medical elements, with theoretical courses, design laboratories and practical group activities, with a focus on artificial intelligence, robotics and medical devices. 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 lasts two years and is worth 120 credits. It is full-time in person in Bergamo. Practical activities and collaborations with clinical and industrial settings are mentioned.

The aim is to train engineers able to meet the innovation needs in the fields of advanced diagnostics, therapy, rehabilitation and personalised medicine. The career opportunities are technical and managerial roles at healthcare facilities, biomedical industries and research centres, or independent practice, as biomedical engineer, clinical engineer and medical device product manager. 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.
