Master of Applied Science (MASc)
Overview
The MASc in Biomedical Engineering is a research-focused program that immerses students in the application of biomedical sciences and engineering principles to advance solutions for challenges in human health. MASc students receive a guaranteed minimum stipend for two years. Exceptional students may be considered for transfer to the PhD program within the first year of study.
Length of study
Five terms (defined as the period for an academically well-prepared student to complete all program requirements while registered full-time).
Admission requirements
- A four-year bachelor’s degree in engineering, medicine, dentistry, physical sciences, or biological sciences, or its equivalent, with an average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 grade point average scale (i.e., mid-B) in the final two years of study from a recognized university.
- Proof of English-language proficiency is required for all applicants educated outside of Canada whose native language is not English. View the BME English-language requirement policy to determine whether you are required to take a language test and for a list of accepted testing agencies and their minimum scores required for admission.
