A Master of Applied Science (MASc) degree is ideal for recent graduates or professionals seeking to expand their biomedical engineering knowledge through advanced study and research in a major field.Ìý
A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree is ideal for students pursuing a career in fundamental or applied research in academic, government, or corporate environments.Ìý
In addition to the guaranteed minimum funding provided, students may be eligible for Teaching Assistantships within the department along with other scholarships and awards.ÌýÌý
Supervisors must be from the list of approved BME Grad Faculty. While finding a supervisor is not required before applying to research programs, applicants must secure a supervisor to receive an offer of admission to research programs. Students cannot receive an offer of admission if a supervisor does not accept them.ÌýÌý

Admission is reliant on the applicant finding a suitable supervisor. A supervisor is not required at the point of application, so students can apply and upload all materials before finalizing their supervisor. However, it is advisable for applicants to begin speaking with prospective supervisors prior to applying, as the process can take some time. Faculty members in Biomedical Engineering can be found on the Research Areas page. Follow the steps and advice about how to find a supervisor.Ìý
