A defining element of this Master's degree Program is the presence of multi/interdisciplinary courses that provide students not only with the necessary computer science skills and knowledge to achieve the “professionalism” required in the Digital Health sector but also with full awareness of the specificities, needs, and methodologies of this sector.
A distinctive feature of the Master's degree is the close collaboration (co-teaching) between professors in the computer science area and colleagues/professionals in the bio-medical, pharma, bio-engineering, and economic-legal sectors.
Moreover, each course will include significant laboratory activity on state-of-the-art SW libraries and domain-specific data. The program will conclude with a targeted educational activity involving the analysis, design, and implementation of Digital Health applications in which students will engage in the development of software projects proposed by faculty and professionals in the biomedical sector, which may be further explored in their thesis work.
