Overview

The Biomedical Engineering programme at Politecnico di Torino eventually allows graduates to find occupation or to carry on through the Master’s Degree.

Key facts

• During the second year there are courses in the fundamentals of biology, anatomy and physiology, and in basic engineering topics relating to the industrial and information sectors. 
• These courses will provide:  

• the basics of electronics needed to analyse and design simple electronic circuits; courses include both theoretical instruction and practical experience of creating circuit boards in the laboratory;  

• the basic methodological tools for describing, analysing and modeling signals; 

• knowledge of mechanical engineering systems necessary to define simple engineering systems consisting of beams subjected to static loads and fatigue, to solve engineering problems regarding the mechanics of rigid bodies, and to describe the main characteristics of mechanical power transmission systems; courses provide both theoretical knowledge and laboratory experiments. 
• Career opportunities
• Graduates in Biomedical Engineering will find employment: in companies that develop and/or produce medical devices; in service companies that operate in health technology management; in local health authorities, within the clinical engineering department; and in companies that market medical devices, providing after sales support to customers.
