- The University offers various degrees in this program that are:
- Master of Applied Science (MASc, 2 years)
- Doctor of Philosophy (PhD, 3-4 years)
- The School of Biomedical Engineering is a collaborative effort of the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Engineering.
- The Biomedical Engineering program has the main focus on biomedical devices innovation.
- Students have to complete six, half-credit MSc-level courses in biomedical engineering or related disciplines, presentation of thesis proposal at a departmental seminar, and a MASc thesis.
- As a biomedical engineering student, they will typically spend the first 8 months of the 2-year program working on coursework. They will spend the remainder of their time working on their thesis.
- Major research areas of the program are:
- Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
- Biosignals and Physiological Modelling
- Human Dynamics and Rehabilitation Engineering
- In this program, students will enjoy excellent career prospects, research opportunities, and training that spans medicine, basic science, and engineering.
- As a graduate student, they will work closely with engineers and clinicians on projects that address contemporary medical problems.
- Students can apply for both external scholarships (NSERC, CIHR, NSHRF, NSGS, MITACs) and internal scholarships (FGS, Faculty of Engineering).
