McMaster University offers a Master of Applied Science in Biomedical Engineering for a duration of 2 years.
It is an on-campus, thesis-based program offered on a full-time basis.
This is a research program created by the Faculties of Engineering and Health Sciences to provide a unique collaborative environment and links current and emerging areas of molecular, medical, and bioengineering research.
The research areas of the program are:
- Biomaterials and tissue engineering
- Imaging
- Biomedical technology
The MASc is a thesis-based program where students are required to complete courses in addition to writing and defending a thesis.
Students must complete a thesis to be examined by a committee of no fewer than 3 members (supervisors plus two additional faculty members, one of whom may be from a department other than Biomedical Engineering).
Students must take a minimum of 3 half-year graduate courses, with one being a 700-level core course in biomedical engineering (12 weeks of instruction broken into 4 equal modules – biomaterials and tissue engineering, biomedical imaging, biophotonics, and medical robotics).
Students must attend all seminars in the Biomedical Engineering Program seminar series. They must present one seminar on the research they have carried out while enrolled in the program.
Attendance of all registered Masters students in the Biomedical Engineering program is mandatory.
Students also get the co-op option which is optional for them.
Full-time students receive funding from the department/supervisor in the form of scholarships and/or teaching assistantships (funding is for 24 months).
The department provides various types of degree in this program such as:
- MASc in Biomedical Engineering (2 years)
- PhD in Biomedical Engineering (4 years)
- MD/PhD in Biomedical Engineering (7 years+)
The average salary of the program goes up to 54,000 USD.
