Overview

The Doctorat en genie biomedical is a 90-credit, full-time research doctorate offered jointly by Universite de Montreal, Polytechnique Montreal, the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Students complete a supervised thesis project chosen from eight specialization options spanning the biomedical engineering field, developing advanced research skills alongside the intellectual rigour and scientific creativity needed for professional or research-oriented careers in biomedical engineering. Some required coursework, such as the foundational biomedical engineering course and the doctoral seminar, is delivered at Polytechnique Montreal, with Universite de Montreal students registering through an inter-institutional study authorization. Admission is centred on the candidate's research project: applicants must secure a faculty member's agreement to direct their work before applying, and the letter of acceptance from the research director must specify the planned funding arrangement. New students are admitted in the summer, fall and winter terms.
