General Course Information
1. Foundation Courses
The following foundational courses are program requirements, as determined by degree. All courses are one semester and equal to one course credit, unless otherwise stated.
| Course | Degree | Term |
|---|---|---|
| BE8001 Foundations of Biomedical Engineering | MASc/MEng/PhD | Fall or Winter |
| BE8002 Seminars in Biomedical Engineering 1 2 | MASc/PhD | Fall & Winter |
| BP8114 Anatomy and Physiology for Medical Physics | MASc/MEng/PhD | Winter |
1 MASc students must give one seminar presentation toward the end of their thesis. PhD students must give one presentation before their candidacy exam, as well as one presentation toward the end of their dissertation. This credit is awarded on a pass/fail basis. 2 Enrolment is restricted to MASc and PhD students, though MEng students can attend seminars without enrolling. |

2. Elective Courses
Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary program and, as such, the curriculum includes elective courses from related fields of study: physics, and chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering. Course descriptions can be found via the Yeates School of Graduate Studies calendar, by selecting the appropriate program. All courses are one semester and are equal to one course credit.

Notes:
- ^BE8106: students need to have knowledge of discrete-time Fourier transforms and/or Fourier Analysis. Prerequisites: BME632 / PCS 622 / MTH710 / MTH 820.
- For any non–biomedical engineering course registration, you must submit a completed and signed (PDF file) Course Substitution Request to the program office, as these registrations must be processed manually. Please check course availability and room location on MyServiceHub. Access the complete Biomedical Engineering calendar here. No more than 50 per cent of course requirements can be taken from outside the program.
- Students are permitted to take only one directed studies course, including substitutions in related programs.
- A student is permitted to take no more than two courses taught by their supervisor, one of which may be BE8003 Directed Studies in Biomedical Engineering.
