Career Opportunities:
The Health Engineering track within the bachelor's degree program in health does not offer a professional bachelor's degree, but rather a preparatory track for the Professional Master's in Health Engineering.
This objective is justified by the unique focus of the master’s program on project management in R&D for healthcare products, clinical R&D, biotechnology, and the health sector.
Upon completion of the bachelor’s degree, students can—thanks to the solid foundational knowledge they have acquired—choose a specialization in one of the fields offered starting in the first year of the master’s program. They can then progress to a Project Management track in the second year of the master’s program, leading to a career as a manager.
Programs in the second year (and third year) of undergraduate studies are also recommended pathways to the Master’s in Research in Biology and Health or other Master’s programs in Health offered at other universities.
