Program Overview

Program Description:

Biomedical Engineering (BME) is a graduate program toward M.Sc., Ph.D. and/or MD-PhD degrees. It is an interdisciplinary program between the three faculties of Engineering, Medicine and Science, and the associated hospitals and medical industries. The main research areas of the program include, but are not limited to: Medical instrumentation and sensors Biological signal processing Biomedical image processing and reconstruction Gait analysis and rehabilitation Biophotonics Orthopaedic mechanics The BME graduate program offers a unique opportunity for students to extend their academic reach beyond traditional discipline boundaries. Students pursue collaborative projects between a student-specific combination of departments, faculties, local hospitals, and the medical industry. The program features a bi-weekly group meeting that provides a forum for graduate students and other researchers to share fascinating ideas and research. This collaborative environment is further cemented by two unique courses, BME for Engineers and BME for Life Science Students, which bridge the gap between biomedical engineering and the two main streams of engineering and life sciences backgrounds. By emphasizing the application of diverse knowledge to the formation of holistic solutions that improve human health, this program provides fertile ground for making the discipline-cutting connections that drive medical innovation in the 21st century.

Requirements:

Minimum admission requirements for the MSc Degree Program in Biomedical Engineering: any four-year undergraduate degree from the Faculties of Engineering, Medicine or Science with a minimum GPA of 3.0* in the courses making up the latter half of that degree program, or the Medical Doctoral degree from the Faculty of Medicine. Minimum admission requirements for the PhD: any M.Sc. degree from the Faculties of Engineering, Medicine or Science with a minimum CGPA of 3.0* in the last 60 credit hours of courses. Students with a Medical Doctoral (MD) Degree, however, may be admitted directly to a three-year full tuition Ph.D. program with the condition of passing a minimum of 24 credit hour courses. All applicants must also meet the minimum admission requirements of the Faculty of Graduate Studies. *Note that due to the high number of applications, a GPA higher than 3.6 in the last 60 credit hours of coursework is usually required. Possible Start Dates September, January, May
