• Two(2) years, full time (max. six calendar years)
• Four course credits (credits may include one directed studies course, two from a related TMU program)
  
• Two research presentations
  
• PhD research seminar
  
• Candidacy examination (oral & written)
  
• Dissertation & defence
• Please note: Course selections are normally confirmed through a Program of Study agreement between supervisor and student, with the approval of the program director.

• One-year, full time (max. three calendar years)
  
• Five course credits: (credits may include one directed studies course, two from a related program at TMU OR two transfer credits)
  
• One research presentation
  
• Master’s research seminar
  
• Thesis & oral exam

• One-year, full time (max. Three calendar years), OR
• Two-years, part time (max. Five calendar years)
  
• Ten course credits (credits may include one directed studies course, five from a related TMU program)
  OR
• Eight course credits and a Major research project or Internship (IF students chose to pursue a major research project, the option form  (external link) is required
• About the Major Research Project: Major research projects are completed under the supervision of a faculty supervisor. Your supervisor must approve your proposed project plan, which you must present in writing. The results of the project are to be submitted in the form of a report, which will be assessed by the supervisor and examination committee. An oral examination of the project report, and results, will be arranged. The examination committee will assess your project report.
  
  
• About the BME Internship: Students have the option to participate in an internship project that is relevant to the student’s research interests and aligns with the goals of the program. Internships are a minimum of 150 hours, typically spanning eight to 10 consecutive weeks during a single semester. You are responsible for identifying and securing your placement and preparing an internship plan.
  
  Internship plans should be prepared in consultation with the host company or institution and will briefly describe the purpose, objectives, activities and relevance of the placement project. Plans should not exceed three pages.
  
  On completion of the internship, students are required to:
  
  1. Obtain a signed letter from the host company acknowledging the successful completion of the internship
  2. Submit a report (no more than 30 pages) to the program director outlining the activities and deliverables of the internship; and
  3. Present the outcomes of the internship in the seminar course (BE8002).
