Learning and research
Topics include medical imaging, biomaterials, regenerative medicine, artificial intelligence and data. An 18-ECTS final project gives research a substantial place in the course.
When choosing a project, consider what you would like to become better at: developing a method, analysing evidence or communicating a technical idea. Asking about recent projects and available supervision can help you find a direction that suits your interests.
Applying
UIC lists bioengineering and related engineering backgrounds among its entry profiles. Applicants submit documents and attend an interview; the university assesses whether additional preparation is needed.
The published 2026–27 price separates tuition from other fees. Ask for a personalised total if preparatory credits apply, and confirm dates and English-language evidence before arranging travel.
