Aspects
As a Técnico MSc graduate in Bioengineering: Regenerative and Precision Medicine, you are prepared to pursue a research career in industry or academia, or work in healthcare research institutions and hospitals, as well as in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological sectors.
You may also pursue a career in emerging areas of Bioengineering such as the development of:
• innovative and customized clinical applications,
• bioprocesses and advanced products for molecular, cell and tissue engineering-based therapies;
• pharmacological diagnosis and research that may respond to diseases for which there are not currently effective approaches and therapeutics.
Graduates of this area have held positions in areas such as consultancy, leadership and management as well as vocational training and teaching.
Access and ingress
Only the students that meet the requirements below may apply for a 2nd cycle of IST or to a 2nd cycle of na IST Integrated MSC Programme:
- those who have concluded a 1st cycle degree programme, or a 1st cycle of an Integrated MSc Programme, which do not have scientific consistency with the 2nd cycle for which they apply;
- those who hold a 1st cycle degree in the area of Science and Technology (except for the 2nd cycle in Architecture which presupposes a 1st cycle programme in Architecture);
- those who have a school, scientific or professional background, certifying their capacity to carry out a MSc for which they apply.
