• Dalhousie University offers a Master of Science in Biological Engineering for a duration of 2 years.
  • It is an on-campus, thesis-based program offered on a full-time basis.
  • The School of Biomedical Engineering at Dalhousie University is a collaborative effort of the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Engineering.
  • The department provides different types of degrees for this program which are:
    • MEng Biological Engineering (2 years)
    • MASc Biological Engineering (2 years)
    • PhD Biological Engineering (3-4 years)
  • The MASc and PhD degrees involve a research thesis and 4 courses plus a graduate seminar.
  • The MEng degree is a Professional Engineering degree that requires either 5 more courses than the MASc degree plus a graduate seminar or 3 more courses than the MASc degree plus a graduate seminar and a project.
  • Studying students in this program get various types of facilities such as lab facilities, Machine shop, and Bioenvironmental engineering centre.
  • The Biological Engineering program has focused on research n Environmental Engineering and Biosystems Engineering.
  • Research projects, therefore, encompass both specific environmental concerns and the sustainable utilization of natural resources.
  • The department has co-operative projects with faculty members in other Universities both locally and internationally.
  • Opportunities exist to participate in these research projects, which provide wider experience and, in which a specific component leads to a Master's or Doctorate degree.
