This programme prepares you to work at the frontiers of science and innovation in regenerative medicine. You will learn how to design and manage advanced biotechnological methods used to develop new treatments. 

Career options include: 

• Research labs in universities, hospitals, or private institutions 
• Biotech and pharmaceutical companies (in research, development, quality control, or regulation) 
• National and international regulatory and certification bodies 
• Organisations focused on technology transfer 
• Science publishing, communication, and grant-writing services 

After passing the national exam, you can also join the Professional Order of Biologists (Senior List) in Italy, which opens pathways in the health sector. 

This degree also allows you to apply for PhD programmes or postgraduate specialty schools (non-medics) in Italy or abroad. 

• Classes start: November, 2026 (TBC) 
• The academic calendar for 2026/27 will be online in July (visit this page).
