Program details
Overview
This joint PhD programme develops advanced research and analytical skills in biomedical engineering, preparing graduates for careers in scientific research, specialized professional practice, and university teaching. Students deepen their expertise in a chosen research area, critically evaluate the scientific literature, and develop rigorous methods of reasoning and experimentation under the direction of a research supervisor affiliated with the Institut de génie biomédical. The programme comprises 90 credits: a minimum of 15 credits of graduate coursework in biomedical engineering or a related field, approved by the research supervisor, and 75 credits of thesis research. Depending on prior training, a foundational course in a biological or medical science, such as physiology, biochemistry, anatomy, cell biology, or pathology, may also be required. Admission requires holding a bachelor's degree in engineering or a master's degree from Polytechnique Montréal, or an equivalent diploma, and securing the support of a professor who agrees to supervise the candidate's research. Instruction is delivered in French. New students are admitted in the fall, winter, and summer terms. The credential awarded is a Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D.).
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in engineering or a master's degree from Polytechnique Montréal, or a diploma deemed equivalent by the school, demonstrating appropriate preparation. A strong academic record does not guarantee admission: candidates must also secure the support of a professor who agrees to direct their research.
