About Master’s Program,
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.
Master’s Program Degree Eligibility with GPA,
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.
Applicants must find a BME faculty supervisor.
Admission to the research program is for a designated role with a specific faculty supervisor.
You don’t need a supervisor when applying, but admission is competitive, and only candidates who have secured a research supervisor will be admitted.
The supervisor (and co-supervisor, if applicable) must be a faculty member of BME (core or cross-appointed); faculty from other units cannot supervise BME students.
Master’s Funding Coverage,
Six graduate students from the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at the University of Toronto have been awarded a combined funding of >$462,000 over three years through the Natural Science and Engineering Research Councils of Canada (NSERC). The NSERC graduate scholarship program offers financial assistance to outstanding students pursuing a doctoral degree in the natural sciences and engineering. This funding enables recipients to focus on their research and academic studies while providing the flexibility to collaborate with top research mentors in their field, both in Canada and internationally.
