Program details
Overview
This bachelor's program in biomedical engineering at Polytechnique Montréal applies engineering principles to the study, modification, and control of biological systems, covering topics such as medical imaging systems, implantable devices including pacemakers and artificial organs, materials used inside the human body, and drug and gene delivery mechanisms. The curriculum draws on health sciences, engineering sciences, fundamental sciences, and mathematics. The program includes a mandatory paid internship with industry and a sequence of integrative capstone projects completed across each year of study, ranging from designing a surgical robot to physiological sensors and industry- or medical-sector projects. Teaching is delivered on campus at Polytechnique Montréal in Montreal, Quebec, with exchange and dual-degree opportunities available. It suits students interested in applying engineering methods to healthcare and medical technology who want project-based training bridging biology, medicine, and engineering design.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Biomedical Engineering (B.Ing.) page states only that admission is in Fall, on a capped (contingenté) basis, linking to the institution's admission-conditions page for the entry requirements, so the general Baccalauréat conditions apply. Language is assessed first: applicants schooled in a system Polytechnique does not recognise as francophone must present a qualifying French test result — DALF C1/C2 or DELF B2 (lifetime validity), or 400 (level B2) in every component of TCF Canada, TCF Québec, TCF tout public, TEF Canada or TEF Québec (2-year validity) — before the file is reviewed; holders of a Québec DEC, a Canadian secondary diploma or degree earned in French, or schooling from a recognised francophone system or the AEFE network are exempt. Québec applicants enter from the collegial system, normally with a DEC in the appropriate pre-university field; applicants schooled outside Québec apply through published equivalence routes by qualification (French baccalauréat, IB, OSSD and other Canadian provinces, US high school, classes préparatoires, prior university study, among others). Anyone who finished secondary school outside Québec with no subsequent post-secondary study first completes Polytechnique's integrated 30-credit preparatory year, extending the degree to five years. Places are limited; selection is competitive, based on academic results.
