Biomedical Engineering

The University of Saskatchewan, through the College of Graduate Studies and Research, sustains the Division of Biomedical Engineering to foster interdisciplinary research linking Engineering and the Physical Sciences with the Biological Sciences and Human and Veterinary Medicine.

The department offers programs leading to a Master of (Clinical) Engineering (M.Eng.), Master of Engineering (M.Eng.), Master of Science (M.Sc.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D).  The former is a professional specialization in clinical engineering for students with a Bachelor of Engineering Degree; the latter three are research-oriented or design-oriented programs for students with a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Natural Science, Health Science, or Computer Science.

Our graduate programs provide advanced studies and research in major fields.

The areas of research in which a student may choose to study include:

• biomechanics
• nuclear magnetic resonance
• magnetic resonance imaging
• ultrasonography
• biomedical signal and image processing
• application of artificial neural networks
• fuzzy logic and expert systems
• physiological system modeling
• medical instrumentation

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

Students applying for the programs are encouraged to explore the research expertise of our faculty and contact faculty members directly to inquire about their willingness to act a potential supervisor. 

Send the following to the Graduate Chair in the Division of Biomedical Engineering:

• Two official copies of your academic transcript(s): photocopies are fine at the time of initial application.
• Three letters of recommendation, with at least one from a professor familiar with your scholarly work.
• A curriculum vitae or resume

International students must provide proof of English proficiency. 

All candidates must also submit a brief statement of research interest. 

FUNDING AND SCHOLARSHIPS

In their applications, students should identify their financial status and state if attendance is contingent on receiving financial aid. The department employs graduate students as marking assistants and a limited number of scholarships, research fellowships and teaching assistantships are available. There is a keen competition for this financial support. Applications for Departmental Scholarships, Research Fellowships and Teaching Assistantships may only be submitted after a student has been admitted.

 

For admission and degree requirements, please see  the University Catalogue.
