This Graduate Diploma (Diplome d'etudes superieures specialisees, DESS) in Biomedical Engineering is a joint programme offered by Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal in partnership with Universite de Montreal. It is intended for holders of an undergraduate degree in a science-based discipline who want to add graduate-level biomedical engineering training to their qualifications. The programme totals 30 credits, structured across three components: up to 6 credits of 4000-level (senior undergraduate) courses, 24 to 30 credits of graduate-level coursework, and up to 3 credits allocated to a project. Coursework draws on Polytechnique Montreal's graduate biomedical engineering curriculum and can include courses offered at Universite de Montreal. On completion, graduates receive the Diplome d'etudes superieures specialisees (DESS) from Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal. Applications for the joint programme are accepted for the fall, winter, or summer intake, subject to departmental evaluation.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:2.50 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a bachelor's degree in engineering or another discipline relevant to the programme, or a university degree of a scientific nature together with training that Polytechnique Montreal considers relevant. Candidates must also have a minimum cumulative average of 2.5 out of 4.0 (or 2.7 out of 4.3, or the recognized equivalent); applicants who do not meet this average may request an exception by presenting a file demonstrating aptitude for graduate study, such as relevant professional experience or further study completed since their university degree. Admitted students must also have a designated director of studies (directeur d'etudes). Meeting these general requirements does not guarantee admission, since each application is also assessed against the specific conditions of the individual programme.
