Medicine and Surgery 'MedTech'

The Master’s Degree Programme in Medicine and Surgery ‘MedTech’ is structured over six years for a total of 360 academic credits (CFU) in line with the graduation ministerial requirements. The educational activity includes lectures, small group interactive teaching sessions, mandatory training and dissertation preparation activities. Within the six years, the curriculum also foresees that students participate in training activities in the various clinical fields for at least 60 CFUs (corresponding to 1500 hours). Students must also earn 8 CFUs in areas of their choosing. These elective learning activities (ADE) are part and parce of the academic curriculum. ADEs can be seminars, clinical and laboratory training, volunteering activities or similar activities. Students of the ‘MedTech’ Course are offered the opportunity to deepen their skills in engineering through the acquisition of 30 optional and additional CFUs, in addition to the 360 CFUs required for a Master's degree in Medicine and Surgery. These additional credits are chosen as part of a pathway approved in advance by the Departmental Faculty of Engineering of the University Campus Bio-Medico of Rome. Students who complete the integrated pathway (360 CFUs+30 CFUs) will be granted not only the Master's degree in Medicine and Surgery but also the three-year degree in Biomedical Engineering.
