eUniv to Request the Creation of New State Bachelor’s Degrees
The Academic Board of the University approved, at the proposal of the Director of the University Institute of Applied Technology (IUTA), to request from the Government of the Principality of Andorra the creation of two new state bachelor’s degrees: Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering.
The Bioinformatics program is currently implemented in the Catalan university system through an interuniversity agreement between UAB, UB, UPC, and UPF, which have offered it as an official undergraduate degree since the 2023–24 academic year. The future introduction of this program at eUniv’s IUTA will contribute to strengthening the current academic field of Computer Science with a fourth degree.
Meanwhile, Biomedical Engineering is a well-established and widely implemented field across all levels of the European Higher Education Area. In the Spanish university system alone, it is offered in more than thirty universities, including the UOC, which will introduce it in a fully online teaching format starting next academic year.
