The Master in Bioengineering has been awarded the international EUR-ACE quality label. This certifies MIB as a high-quality programme which meets the international standards for professional engineering education at the masters level. [+ info]

Objectives

The main objective is the specialized training of students to approach in a
multidisciplinary way complex problems of biomedicine and industrial biotechnology from
the perspectives of device engineering, processes and molecular engineering, promoting
the capacity for systematic understanding in a specific domain.
It is intended that graduates are able to conceive, design, implement or maintain
systems and services in specific fields of Bioengineering. It is also intended to ensure
that students acquire advanced theoretical and experimental knowledge in a limited range
of research techniques, in order to develop skills to carry out high-level scientific
research of a fundamental and/or applied nature, according to internationally accepted
quality and ethical standards. .
The training objectives also include the development of transversal skills directly or
indirectly related to the scientific area of ​​the study cycle.

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.
