Application information

Entry requirements

The application deadline for the School of Medicine’s Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. program usually occurs during the first week of December each year. We typically recruit students in seven broad areas that match the research strengths within the BME department: Biomedical Data Science, Computational Medicine, Genomics & Systems Biology, Imaging & Medical Devices, Immunoengineering, Neuroengineering, and Translational Cell & Tissue Engineering. Applicants need not fit into only one area, as much of the best research comes from interdisciplinary work.

Advanced Academic Programs charges a $90 non-refundable application fee per programme application for Summer 2027 and later terms.
