A Structured Programme to Build Solid Skills

The Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering (Degree Class L-8) represents an essential development of LUM’s educational offering, in line with the University’s strategic plan in the field of engineering applied to life sciences and healthcare.

The programme has a standard duration of 3 years and comprises 180 ECTS credits. Over the three years, you will progressively acquire engineering knowledge and skills in the biomedical field through a structured and guided learning pathway:

• First year → scientific and technological foundations: mathematics, physics, computer science, chemistry and biology
• Second year → bioengineering and applied computer science: biomedical data, telemedicine, electronics, automation and healthcare systems security
• Third year → advanced technologies: artificial intelligence, diagnostic imaging, biomaterials, medical robotics and healthcare systems management

An Academic Ecosystem of Excellence

The Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering integrates synergistically with the University’s existing educational offering in the medical and healthcare field, which includes the Single-Cycle Master’s Degree in Medicine and Surgery (Degree Class LM-41), offered in partnership with the “F. Miulli” General Hospital Ecclesiastical Institution, the Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing (Degree Class L/SNT1) and the Master’s Degree in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics (Degree Class LM-46R), all part of the Department of Medicine and Surgery, as well as the PhD Programme in Translational Medicine and Engineering: Advanced Technologies for Health (MED-TECH), launched in the 2025/2026 academic year and recently established.

The programme therefore forms part of a strong medical and healthcare environment that includes collaborations with leading organisations at local, national and international levels, creating a highly qualified learning environment focused on research and innovation.

Career Opportunities

Graduates will be able to work in highly innovative technological environments, including:
