The School of Biomedical Engineering is a collaborative effort of the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Engineering.
As a graduate student, you'll work closely with engineers and clinicians on projects that address contemporary medical problems. You'll also have the opportunity to work in an environment that fosters medical device commercialization, which helps bring our technology to the patients who need it.
In cases (3) and (4) above, additional undergraduate coursework may be required prior to entry into the program. This will depend on the nature of the research thesis to be undertaken and the requirements will be developed in consultation with the school.
**Qualifications for research experience include: a research thesis, senior research project, or equivalent work experience determined in consultation with the School of Biomedical Engineering.
A minimum mid-B average during the student’s undergraduate coursework (with a minimum average of A- over the last two years) will be required, plus demonstrated ability to communicate and write in English (see requirement information below).
GRE Aptitude and Advanced scores in one of the sciences are recommended for all applicants whose undergraduate work has been completed outside Canada.
Acceptance is conditional upon finding and confirming a supervisor.
As a biomedical engineering graduate, you'll be ideally placed to enter medical school and more likely to pursue highly technical specialties like cardiology, orthopaedics, otology, and respirology.
