Program Overview

Master's Programmes

The MSc in Bioengineering and Nanosystems is an interdisciplinary programme that encompasses elements of Engineering and Life Sciences. It explores practical applications of engineering in research, development, and industrial production in sectors such as Biotechnology, Information Science, Electronics, and new materials.

Programme Overview

Graduates are equipped to design, build, test, analyze, and apply cell lines, new molecules, nano and micro-devices, therapeutic and/or commercial interest systems in different industries, at both business and research levels.

Programme Structure

The 2nd Cycle in Bioengineering and Nanosystems has a duration of 4 semesters (2 years), equivalent to 120 ECTS. The structure is as follows:

• Core Structure (48 ECTS): The MSc in Bioengineering and Nanosystems deepens the knowledge acquired in the 1st Cycle in subject areas as diverse as Biomolecular Engineering, Automatic Learning, Nanotechnology, Biomaterials, Systems Control, among others.
• Free options (30 ECTS): Part of the curriculum is of fully free choice, i.e., students may choose subjects not only in Bioengineering but also in any other scientific field offered by T嶰nico.
  • Minors: A number of multidisciplinary modules, which corresponds to 18 ECTS.
  • Extra-curricular activities: May also be credited, to a maximum of 6 ECTS credit points.
• Integrative Project (12 ECTS): Students conduct individual or group work research for a project, within an academic or business context, on a challenge in Bioengineering.
• Dissertation (30 ECTS): The final assignment of the study cycle, which allows students to focus and specialize on a specific subject that may take any of these formats:
  • Scientific thesis
  • Internship at a company
  • Capstone project
