Program details
Overview
The Biomedical Engineering MSc at the University of Manitoba has an expected duration of two years and combines coursework with research, requiring a minimum of 12 credit hours of coursework, a thesis, and an oral examination, alongside seminars where students present their research findings. Instruction and research take place on the Fort Garry campus as well as at the university's affiliated hospitals across Manitoba. The program integrates science, engineering, and medicine to address medical technology and health challenges, with research areas including Alzheimer's disease, nuclear medicine, computational biomechanics, prosthetics, and biomedical instrumentation. Applicants must secure tentative acceptance from an academic advisor willing to take them into their research group before submitting a formal application. The program suits students who want to combine clinical insight with laboratory-based engineering research toward careers in medical technology or biomedical research.

Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a four-year Bachelor of Science in engineering, natural sciences, or medicine/health sciences from a recognized university, and must have completed MATH 1210 (Linear Algebra), MATH 1510 (Calculus 1) and PHYS 1050 (Physics 1) or their equivalents. Admission is contingent on first receiving tentative acceptance from an academic advisor into their research group, and individual research groups may require additional degrees, credentials or prerequisites. The page defers English proficiency to the University's general graduate standard: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, TOEFL iBT 86 overall with a minimum of 20 per section, PTE Academic 61, Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 180, or Duolingo English Test 120 overall with a minimum 100 per skill, valid two years.

Application Details
Start Date:Fall, Winter and Summer
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to the University of Manitoba. As of this September 2026 fetch, the Direct Entry deadlines page shows only the Fall 2026 cycle in full - University 1 and the Diploma in Agriculture at May 1, 2026 domestic / March 1, 2026 international, other Direct Entry programs at March 1, 2026 - a cycle that has already closed, alongside minor Winter 2027 (Dec 1, 2026) and Summer 2027 (Apr 1, 2027) intake deadlines. No Fall 2027 Direct Entry deadline has been published yet, so specific 2027 dates cannot be stated for the university's main intake. The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Jazz Studies deadline (January 15, applying equally to domestic and international applicants) is likewise confirmed only for the 2026-27 cycle, also closed, with no 2027-28 bulletin posted. These are described as fixed deadlines rather than rolling admission, and the university opens each new cycle's applications on October 1. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
