Students enrolled in the Diploma program can transfer successfully completed coursework toward the Professional Master's program. The curriculum includes:
A total of 24 credit units, combining courses from the Graduate Diploma Program (12CU) with advanced studies in computing, biology, and health sciences.
BMIF 898 - Master's Project (6CU). This involves a biomedical informatics research project supervised jointly by faculty from the School and the Faculty of Health Sciences. Students must submit a final research report, which will be assessed on a pass/fail basis by two faculty members, including at least one non-supervisor.
It is advised that students choose one elective from graduate courses in the School of Computing and another from the Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences(opens in a new window)
To be considered for admission to the MBI, an applicant must hold a minimum of a BSc (Honours) degree in biology, life sciences, biochemistry, medical sciences, computer science, biostatistics, engineering, and related disciplines, who are interested in designing and implementing quantitative and computational methods that solve challenging problems across the entire spectrum of biology and medicine, and who wish to develop the skills required for a range of exciting careers in medicine, research and development, or industry. The minimum acceptable average for admissions to these programs is B+ in the third and fourth years of the student’s undergraduate program (all courses considered). Students applying from outside of North America whose native language is not English are required to submit TOEFL scores. Although the program is aimed at recent graduates from undergraduate programs, applicants from professional programs such as medicine and nursing are also welcome.
