Master of Science Engineering in Biomedical Engineering is a master's degree in Bio & Biomedical Engineering programme taught at University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 5,541 per semester (CAD 3,094 per semester for local students).
This program is a research-based Master of Science Engineering offered through UNB's Institute of Biomedical Engineering, combining engineering methods with health and rehabilitation applications. Students complete one required foundational course in biomedical engineering, up to three elective courses connected to their research area, a thesis proposal and defense, and a final thesis defense following a period of supervised research. Faculty research spans assistive robotics, rehabilitation engineering, healthy aging, biometrics, machine learning, biomechanics, and human factors evaluation. Admission generally requires an undergraduate degree in engineering, computer science, or kinesiology with an 80 percent average or first-class standing, and international applicants must provide proof of English proficiency. The program is delivered on UNB's Fredericton campus and pairs each student with a faculty supervisor for the duration of their studies. It suits engineering, science, or kinesiology graduates who want to apply technical and analytical skills to problems in healthcare, rehabilitation, and human performance, typically completing the degree in two to three years of full-time study.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:80.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Applicants should hold an undergraduate degree in engineering, computer science, or kinesiology, with closely related fields considered only in rare cases, and a CGPA of 80% or First Class standing. A complete application includes three references and a one-page statement describing research interests. International applicants whose first language is not English must submit language scores meeting School of Graduate Studies requirements.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants apply through UNB's own application portal by the same published dates: for Fall 2027 entry the general deadline is 31 March 2027, and for Winter 2027 entry it is 15 November 2026, with undergraduate scholarship applications due 1 March 2027. UNB continues to accept applications after these dates while seats remain in the program, so admission is effectively rolling once the deadline passes. UNB publishes no international-specific deadline distinct from these dates. Limited-enrolment programmes close earlier: the Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood Education (Fredericton) close 1 December 2026, and the Bachelor of Nursing closes 15 February 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
