Admission Procedures
Admission to the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) is offered through The School of Graduate Studies (SGS). Admission to BME is highly competitive. Although SGS establishes the minimum academic requirements for admission, BME has additional requirements above the SGS standard. Applicants must apply to BME through the centralized SGS online application. Do not send application material to staff through email as they will not be reviewed.
