Course description

The single-cycle degree course in Medicine and Surgery enriches the professionalism of the medical surgeon with technological and methodological skills specific to the biomedical engineering area. It prepares professionals able to practise the medical-surgical profession with particular attention to applying or developing technological solutions in the direction of prevention and treatment of diseases, supporting ageing and health emergencies. In the first two years, the course offers basic medical science contents along with the fundamentals of the bio-engineering sciences. In the third year, pre-clinical and bio-engineering subjects are covered. Clinical subjects are introduced since the fourth year, accompanied by applications of engineering methodologies to clinical problems.

Admission to the course requires a secondary school diploma or another eligible foreign qualification.
Each academic year the MUR issues a decree establishing the available enrolment and the contents of the Call for application issued by the University.

Graduates find employment in a diverse range of science-related roles:
(i.) General Practitioner
ii.) Hospitals;
iii.) Healthcare facilities;
iv.) Universities and Research Centres;
vi.) National and international healthcare organisations;
vi.) Pharmaceutical and biomedical companies;
vii.) Public and private health service management bodies.

The final examination consists in writing a dissertation on a subject pertinent to students' studies, elaborated in an original way, under the guidance of a supervisor. The dissertation will be discussed publicly during a specific final examination session in front of a Board.
It is possible for the student to write the thesis in English.
