Please look at the program options below and carefully read the program and admission requirements, as well as what's involved to apply for each.

Master of Applied Science in Biomedical Engineering

As a biomedical engineering student, you'll typically spend the first eight months of the two-year program working on coursework. You'll spend the remainder of your time working on your thesis.

If you have an undergraduate degree in any engineering, physical science or health science background, you may be accepted into the program, but you might have to make up some undergraduate courses in your first year.

Program requirements

  • Four half-credit graduate-level courses, three of which are the mandatory, core SBME courses and one of which is an elective course.*
  • Successful completion of a written and oral thesis proposal.
  • Attendance and participation (1 presentation) in departmental seminar series.
  • Attendance and participation (minimum of 1 presentation) in the SBME Annual Research Day.
  • Completion and defense of MASc thesis.

* The three required courses are BMNG5062 Biomedical Engineering Foundations I, BMNG5064 Biomedical Engineering Foundations II, and BMNG5066 Biomedical Research Methods and Design. The remaining elective course can be selected from the suite of SBME graduate courses, a graduate course from another department, a senior technical undergraduate course (3000 or 4000 level Science or Engineering course), or a SBME Directed Reading Course.鈥 

Admission requirements

  • BEng or BASc from an accredited undergraduate engineering program with research experience**
  • Four year BSc in the physical sciences (e.g. Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, etc.) with research experience**
  • Four year BSc in the biological sciences (e.g. Physiology, Biophysics, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Immunology, etc.) with research experience**
  • MD, DVM, DDS, or equivalent with research experience**
       

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鈥檚 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.

Application process

To apply, you must submit an online application and send the documents below to bme@dal.ca:

  1. Academic transcripts - Transcripts and a copy of your graduation certificate(s) are required. We will consider your application with an unofficial transcript. If you are accepted for admission, your final and official transcripts will be required within 90 days of the start of your program sent directly from each post-secondary institution you have attended. The Departmental minimum GPA is 3.3/4.3 (77-79%) over the last 60 credits or about 2 years of your program, most accepted students have a GPA of 3.7/4.3 (80-84%) or better. If your institution reports grades differently from 新澳门六合彩开奖鈥檚 GPA system we will convert them to an equivalent grade. You can find more information about transcript submission here.
  2. Two letters of recommendation - These references should be from academics holding a faculty level position at a university or from industrial or clinical researchers who have supervised your work. References from students, postdoctoral fellows and other sources are generally not acceptable. Reference letters should comment on your academic capabilities, your research potential, your ability to solve problems, your ability to think critically, and your ability to work independently and in teams. These should be submitted via the online application process and do not need to be sent to bme@dal.caYou can find more information about reference requirements here.
  3. An application letter outlining your past research experience, research interests and/or a research project of the type you wish to pursue. The names of two or more potential thesis supervisors (see Our Faculty for faculty research interests) should be included in your letter. It's helpful to contact potential supervisors via email prior to applying to discuss possible projects and funding availability.
  4. Proof of English language competency - International students are required to provide official testing scores sent directly from the testing institute; a high score will be beneficial. It is possible to have this requirement waived if you completed your degree at a recognized university where the language of instruction is English, and in a country where English is one of the official languages. We are currently accepting unofficial copies of your English language test results for the purpose of evaluating your application. Any admission decision is subject to a review of official test reports by 新澳门六合彩开奖 before an official program start date. You can find more information about English language competency requirements here.

PhD in Biomedical Engineering

A PhD in Biomedical Engineering will take you three to five years and involves producing a PhD thesis based on original work. You may apply from a thesis-based master's programs in any health, engineering or physical science discipline.

Program requirements

  • Four, half-credit graduate-level courses in biomedical engineering or related disciplines*, or two if they come from a previous Masters of Biomedical Engineering degree or equivalent approved by the Graduate Coordinator.
  • Successful completion of a written and oral thesis proposal.
  • Successful completion of a written and oral PhD candidacy examination.
  • Attendance and participation (2 presentations) in departmental seminar series.
  • Attendance and participation (minimum of 2 presentations) in the SBME Annual Research Day.
  • Completion and defence of PhD thesis.

*A student can take only one directed reading course as part of their PhD Program.

 

Admission requirements

You may be accepted into the PhD program in Biomedical Engineering from an accredited master's program in the physical sciences, biological sciences or engineering. In such cases, all of the requirements for entry into the MASc program must be satisfied.  Additional courses may be required at the discretion of the School and depending on the nature of the research work to be undertaken.

If you are already in the MASc program, you may transfer to a PhD program after you complete three half-classes and a successful  PhD Transfer Examination.

Acceptance is conditional upon finding and confirming a supervisor.
