Course description
This full-time master programme trains engineers able to design intelligent embedded systems and cognitive robotic systems for sports and health applications.
Students will benefit from an interdisciplinary education, including courses in computer engineering, biotechnology and biomedical sciences, electrical engineering, and automation and robotics, to address key societal challenges in sports and health. This programme is grounded in South Tyrol while maintaining a strong international outlook. This is guaranteed by being taught entirely in English with teaching staff as well as students coming from Italy, Europe and the entire world.
Courses combine theory and engineering practice. Lecture halls are equipped with modern technology to enable hybrid and distance learning, and e-learning tools are used to complement and support lectures. Laboratory and project activities are seamlessly integrated into the programme and students have access to state-of-the-art software tools and equipment in the various laboratories associated with the programme at our Campus NOI Techpark.
Courses are taught by leading research professors from unibz, supported by experts from relevant industries. In-class learning is further enriched by experiential learning activities that build bridges between courses and between academia and industry.
The programme provides students with the tools for a career as an engineer or consultant in companies that provide products and services for health, rehabilitation, fitness and sport, or as a researcher in public and private research institutions working in the field of information technology for sport and health. Our graduates will be able to design, implement and validate embedded systems and cognitive robotic systems for sport and health, mastering technologies across hardware and software layers.

Structure of the course
In the first part of the programme (45 ECTS credits), teaching activities are offered that provide targeted knowledge in the fields of computer engineering, bioengineering and biomedical sciences. The aim of these activities is to homogenise knowledge and to familiarise students with the modern and advanced methods required for the specialisation activities.
The second part (52 ECTS credits) is dedicated to deepening students’ knowledge in embedded systems and cognitive robotic systems, and to attending elective courses of up to 12 ECTS credits. Teaching activities in this second phase focus on experimental laboratory activities and experiential learning embedded in the respective courses to develop the students‘analytical and design skills. Through these activities, students will also encounter companies active in the field. Special attention is also paid to the development of soft skills such as teamwork and communication skills.
The third and final part (20 ECTS credits) is dedicated to researching for and writing the master thesis. Students have the option of writing their master thesis in house at unibz or in cooperation with local or international companies.
