Biomedical Engineers utilize engineering principles combined with biological and medical sciences to advance healthcare technologies and develop medical devices. This specialized discipline integrates various engineering fields with life sciences, clinical practice, and health enhancement solutions. Our MASC program, established in 2006, educates students in core Biomedical Engineering concepts while offering hands-on research opportunities across diverse areas including biomechanics, biomaterials, cellular engineering, medical imaging, device development, implantable microsystems, physiological modeling, and medical robotics. Alumni pursue doctoral studies or enter R&D roles in both corporate and academic settings. Additionally, we offer a professional Master of Engineering degree option.
Applicants for a master's degree program must hold the academic equivalent of a four-year bachelor's degree from UBC with: a minimum overall average in the B+ grade range (76-79% at UBC) in third-year level and above courses; or academic standing with at least 12 credits of third- or fourth-year courses in the A grade range (80% or higher at UBC) in the field of study; or applicants who have a four-year bachelor's degree, or its academic equivalent, which does not meet the requirements stated above, but who have had significant formal training and relevant professional experience to offset such deficiencies, may be granted admission on the recommendation of the appropriate graduate program or faculty and approval of the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies.
