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.
