| Description | The Department of Biomedical Engineering offers the PhD degree. Completion of the degree requires four graduate-level courses (two offered by the Department plus two from another department) and a research thesis that must be defended and presented in a public seminar. Normally, a student will first enrol in the MSc program and then transfer to the PhD program, courses taken in the MSc program counting towards the PhD degree. Students entering the Department who hold a MSc degree are required to take only two graduate-level courses (both from the Department). The normal time for completion of the degree is 4-5 years. The Department requires that all PhD students receive financial support. | | |
