- It is an on-campus, thesis-based program offered on a full-time basis.
- This is a research program created by the Faculties of Engineering and Health Sciences to provide a unique collaborative environment and links current and emerging areas of molecular, medical, and bioengineering research.
- The research areas of the program are:
- Biomaterials and tissue engineering
- Imaging
- Biomedical technology
- The MASc is a thesis-based program where students are required to complete courses in addition to writing and defending a thesis.
- Students must complete a thesis to be examined by a committee of no fewer than 3 members (supervisors plus two additional faculty members, one of whom may be from a department other than Biomedical Engineering).
- Students must take a minimum of 3 half-year graduate courses, with one being a 700-level core course in biomedical engineering (12 weeks of instruction broken into 4 equal modules – biomaterials and tissue engineering, biomedical imaging, biophotonics, and medical robotics).
- Students must attend all seminars in the Biomedical Engineering Program seminar series. They must present one seminar on the research they have carried out while enrolled in the program.
- Attendance of all registered Masters students in the Biomedical Engineering program is mandatory.
- Students also get the co-op option which is optional for them.
- Full-time students receive funding from the department/supervisor in the form of scholarships and/or teaching assistantships (funding is for 24 months).
- The department provides various types of degree in this program such as:
- MASc in Biomedical Engineering (2 years)
- PhD in Biomedical Engineering (4 years)
- MD/PhD in Biomedical Engineering (7 years+)
- The average salary of the program goes up to 54,000 USD.
