The School of Biomedical Engineering is a
graduate Department within the Faculties of Engineering
and Medicine. Students can earn MASc
or PhD degrees. supported by over 30
faculty members. Students gain experience working
with Scientists, Clinicians, Surgeons and
Entrepreneurs working in laboratory,
biomedical industry and hospital
settings.
Qualified students will be accepted into the
M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. programs from undergraduate
engineering programs, from honours mathematics and
physical or biological science programs, as well
as from clinical professional programs (M.D.,
D.D.S., D.V.M.). You can learn more about about
the M.A.Sc. in
Biomedical Engineering and the
application
process from this site. You can
learn more about graduate school admission
generally and about support from Dalhousie's Faculty of Graduate
Studies.
For an overview of opportunities for new
students, see our presentation.
