The Master’s Degree Program in “Biotechnology for Human and Animal Health” is an international course, delivered entirely in English, designed to train professionals with advanced, multidisciplinary skills in both basic and applied biomedical research. The program places particular emphasis on diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive strategies based on cutting-edge biotechnological approaches.

Students acquire specialized expertise in both human and veterinary health, preparing them to apply biotechnology in key sectors such as gene therapy, reproductive technologies, biosensor development, animal production, food processing, and advanced diagnostic systems.

The program spans two years (4 semesters, 12 exams, and 120 ECTS credits). The first phase, covering the first year and the first semester of the second year, includes classroom lectures, laboratory exercises, and seminars. The second phase, in the second semester of the second year, is dedicated to an internship and the preparation of either an experimental or theoretical thesis. The internship provides in-depth practical training and can be carried out in the department’s laboratories or at external institutions, both in Italy and abroad. The academic pathway is further enriched by elective courses selected by the student.
