Objectives

The main objective is to prepare human resources with the capacity to address biomedicine
and industrial biotechnology problems in a multidisciplinary way from the perspectives
of devices,  processes and molecular engineering, promoting the capacity for systematic
understanding in a specific domain. It is intended that graduates are able to 
manipulate, operate and maintain systems and services in specific fields of 
Bioengineering. It is also intended to ensure that students have experimental contact
with research techniques , in order to develop curiosity/interest in carrying out
high-level scientific research of a fundamental and/or applied nature, according to
internationally accepted quality parameters and ethical standards. 
The training objectives of the study plan also include the development of skills to
carry out group work to communicate with their peers and with the academic and
business community.

Employment Prospects

Specialization in Biomedical Engineering - biomedical instrumentation, processing and
analysis of biomedical signals and images, medical devices (external and internal
prostheses), tissue engineering (notably for regenerative medicine), telemedicine,
bioinformatics, medical robotics (minimally invasive surgery), and bionics.

Specialization in Biological Engineering - chemical-biological process industries
(pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, aromas) and natural materials valorization
(wood, leather, materials and products of marine origin), environment and environmental
health (treatment of contaminated waste, quality environment in hospitals and healthcare
companies).

Specialization in Molecular Bioengineering - sectors where the design and development
of new products based on molecular biology is a priority, particularly drugs and
diagnostic systems.

MIBuddy Program:

The MIBuddy program is a mentoring program taking place in the 1st curricular year
of each academic year. It aims to guide MIB 1st year students, thus facilitating
their integration and promoting a good academic path. For more information see
