Master’s Degree in Industrial Bioengineering

The Master's Degree in Industrial Bioengineering is a two-year course of the University of Naples Federico II, promoted by the Department of Chemical, Materials and Industrial Production Engineering. It sits at the crossroads of engineering and life sciences and trains professionals with interdisciplinary skills, able to design, develop and bring to market innovative devices and solutions for health. Industrial bioengineering deals with designing and producing devices, materials and systems for diagnosis, treatment and well-being. It requires knowledge of biological mechanisms and of the rules of the healthcare sector, as well as design techniques, and for this reason the course integrates biochemistry, engineering and data analysis, with attention to the transfer of solutions to the market.

The courses range from biochemistry to the design and development of medical devices, up to advanced analysis of biomedical data. Two optional paths are provided: one devoted to diagnostics and modelling with machine learning, the other to the sciences and technologies for implantable devices. Optional courses mentioned include biomechanics, neuroengineering and rapid prototyping. The course takes place in person in Naples and lasts two years. The language is not stated and is presumed to be Italian, despite the English title. The page does not give the credits and does not explicitly mention internships. The two optional paths make it possible to specialise in different directions: one is devoted to diagnostics and modelling with machine learning, the other to implantable devices. The courses in biomechanics, neuroengineering and rapid prototyping complete the offer and make it possible to build a profile closer to one's inclinations, theoretical or practical.

The aim is to prepare professionals for the sectors of bioengineering, biomedical, pharmaceutical and well-being, with possible positions in companies, research centres and healthcare facilities. The course is aimed at bachelor's graduates in technical-scientific disciplines interested in the integration of engineering and life sciences. The page does not specify the degree classes accepted or the curricular requirements and does not give the price, start date, places, selection and scholarships, which must be checked in the university's official call for applications. The career opportunities indicated concern the biomedical and pharmaceutical sector, well-being, research and healthcare facilities. The English title might suggest a course in English, but the page does not state this, and the language must therefore be checked. Price, length of internships, places and deadlines are not given: the department's official call for applications must be consulted. It is advisable to check this in the call for applications.
