The Degree in Biodesign trains professionals and researchers capable of integrating design, biosciences and sustainability into an advanced framework of research,experimentation and design practice geared towards ecological and regenerative transition.It provides a solid and critical foundation in the scientific,epistemological,ethical and methodological fundamentals of Biodesign,enabling students to develop innovative solutions based on biological principles,living systems,biomaterials and regenerative processes. It develops profiles with high intellectual autonomy, prepared to articulate interdisciplinary knowledge between design,life sciences,materials science and engineering, mediating relationships between nature, science, technology and society.With dedicated laboratory facilities and links to a business and institutional ecosystem,it brings R&D closer to real contexts of innovation.Graduates are able to intervene in academic, professional and territorial contexts,contributing to sustainable innovation,the circular bioeconomy and the development of new products,services and experiences in line with the European Green Deal,the New European Bauhaus and the green transition.

The Master's in Biodesign is aimed at professionals and academics with training in complementary areas, motivated to intervene in the ecological transition through the integration of design, biosciences, and sustainability. Entry Profiles: - Designers, artists, and architects interested in living materials, biofabrication, and sustainable creative processes. - Biologists, chemists, and engineers seeking to apply scientific skills to the design of regenerative products, systems, and services. - Professionals from related fields (graduates or equivalent, national and international via the Bologna Process) with experience or motivation for the circular bioeconomy, ecodesign, and territorial innovation. Ideal for those who aspire to lead the next generation of products and processes based on living systems, from laboratory prototype to industrial implementation. Perfect for transitioning from creative or scientific backgrounds to strategic roles in emerging industries (biomaterials, creative biotechnology, regenerative territories), articulating research, experimentation, and the market.

1. Biomaterials and Biofabrication Mastery Ability to conceive, prototype, and validate new biological materials and living production processes in the laboratory, articulating synthetic biology, design, and materials science. 2. Applied Research and Scientific Methodologies Competence to conduct complete R&D cycles ¿ from problem identification and hypothesis formulation to data analysis, experimental ethics, and the production of original knowledge. 3. Regenerative Design and Systems Thinking Ability to create bio-inspired, bio-informed, and bio-integrated solutions that not only minimize environmental impact but also regenerate ecosystems and promote circular economies. 4. International Interdisciplinary Collaboration Practical experience in global networks (Biodesign Network I/II), connecting research centers, industry, and territory through seminars, co-creation, and cross-pollination of knowledge. 5. Transfer to Market and Sustainable Innovation Capacity building to transform prototypes into marketable products and services, with life cycle assessment (LCA), business strategy, and strategic communication to stakeholders.

Graduates in Biodesign will be prepared to work at the intersection of design, science, and technology, in sectors that demand sustainable innovation and the development of new materials, products, and systems. Open to graduates in Design, Arts, Architecture, Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, or related fields (national and international), the course trains professionals capable of integrating biology, biomaterials, and biofabrication processes in industrial, territorial, and service contexts, contributing to the ecological transition and the circular bioeconomy. They can work as designers of biomaterials and sustainable products (including architects specializing in living materials and spatial biofabrication), artists and creatives in aesthetic biotechnology, specialists in Biodesign applied to fashion, textiles, product design, and environments, as well as consultants in regenerative design, ecodesign, and the circular economy in companies, municipalities, technological start-ups, and innovation laboratories. The strong R&D component and the oriented Studio-laboratory also allow integration into applied research teams, living labs, and European projects, articulating prototyping, environmental impact assessment, and transfer to the market. The master's program also prepares students for careers in advanced research and higher education, through the production of original knowledge in dissertations, internship reports, or project work, aligned with agendas such as the European Green Deal, the New European Bauhaus, and national strategies for the circular economy. Collaboration with international partners and the regional business ecosystem opens opportunities in global professional contexts, in emerging fields such as biofutures, speculative design, creative biotechnology, and ecological social innovation.
