The Master's in Radiation Sciences and Biomedical Imaging (Maitrise en sciences des radiations et imagerie biomedicale) is a 45-credit, thesis-based research program delivered at the Campus de la sante in Sherbrooke. It offers three streams: a general stream, an interdisciplinary stream in medical imaging, and a stream with specialization in nuclear medicine for residents in that specialty. The 33-credit core, common to all streams, comprises a research seminar, a thesis (memoire) and supervised research activities, with additional stream-specific required and elective courses drawn from topics such as radiation detection, medical physics, medical imaging, radiopharmaceutical chemistry, MRI, mass spectrometry and cancer treatment. The program offers an integrated bachelor's-to-master's pathway from the Bachelor's in Pharmacology and the Bachelor's in Health Biochemistry. Students build multidisciplinary expertise in biomedical radiation sciences, conduct original research under faculty supervision, and learn to evaluate the effects of radiation on biological systems. The program is full-time and admits students at the fall, winter and summer terms.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:2.70 / 4.3
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in medicine or science, or have preparation deemed satisfactory, with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.7 on a 4.3 scale or an equivalent academic record; candidates with an average between 2.38 and 2.7 may exceptionally be admitted subject to at least 2 additional credits of supplementary coursework passed at a minimum of 2.7/4.3. Before applying, candidates must secure the agreement of a faculty member authorized to supervise their research. The nuclear-medicine specialization stream is open only to nuclear-medicine residents or those with training deemed adequate, and requires support from the residency program committee. Integrated bachelor's-to-master's pathways from the Bachelor's in Pharmacology or the Bachelor's in Health Biochemistry require a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5/4.3 after the fifth semester and completion of the specified credit thresholds before the sixth semester.
