Bioenineering

Engineering solutions for life

Training in the Master of Science in Bioengineering focuses on research and development of technologies applied to Life Sciences. Students gain solid technical training in this domain.

Specializations of bioengineering include the disciplines of mechanics of biological systems, transport phenomena, biomimetics and tissue engineering. It is also possible to opt for a Minor in Biomedical Technologies or in Biocomputing. These minors are offered in collaboration with the sections of Computer Science and Microengineering. The former prepares for the mastering of technologies for diagnosis, cutting-edge analytical methods and medical equipment. It gives students the opportunity to be involved in projects related to the application of nanotechnologies to living organisms. The latter orients students towards the modeling of biological systems and bioinformatics.

Candidates should have a Bachelor’s degree from a reputable university and excellent academic records. The curriculum requires a solid background in sciences and technology, (mathematics, physics, chemistry, signal processing, electronics and electrical systems, computer sciences) biosciences and medical physiology.

Minors recommended with this Master:

• Biocomputing

• Biomedical Technologies

• Biotechnology

• Management, Technology, Entrepreneurship

• Neuroprosthetics
