Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering
Yves Goussard, Graduate Program Co-ordinator, Institut de génie biomedical
514 340-4711, ext. 4185, biomedical-es@polymtl.ca
The Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering aims to develop the advanced knowledge, intellectual rigour, scientific curiosity and creativity needed to enable program graduates to work professionally at the leading edge of their chosen field, pursue scientific research or teach in a university.
Through the program, candidates will broaden their knowledge and break new ground in their field, be able to understand and evaluate scientific literature, and develop rigour in their reasoning and experimentation.
Candidates who successfully complete the doctoral program in Biomedical Engineering obtain a Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D.) degree.
Undergraduate engineering degree, master’s degree from École Polytechnique or any other certification deemed appropriate and equivalent by École Polytechnique.
An excellent academic record does not guarantee access to the Ph.D. program. Prospective candidates must also obtain the consent of a professor willing to supervise their work.
N.B. For information about the conditions under which a student may proceed directly from a master’s to a doctoral program without submitting a thesis, see Article 71.3 of the Règlements généraux des études supérieures (In French only).
The Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering comprises 90 credits, distributed as follows:
| Credits | |
|---|---|
| Graduate-level courses | 15 (minimum) |
| Research/thesis | 75 |
For course information, please refer to the DESS (advanced graduate degree) (available in French only) and Master's in Biomedical Engineering Web pages.
Please refer to Article 75 for general conditions regarding the Comprehensive Exam. Exceptionally, following receipt of written justification from the student, the biomedical engineering program director may, with the consent of the graduate program head, extend the comprehensive exam period beyond 24 months after registration.
Details on the specific program terms are available from the secretary at the Institut de génie biomedical.

* These courses must be taken at the start of the program unless the student has already taken them or has had equivalencies granted by the school.
Basic courses in biology and medicine (physiology, biochemistry, anatomy, cellular biology, pathology and others) may be required by the thesis or research supervisor, based on the candidate’s previous training and/or whether such courses have been taken at a university level. These courses must be approved by the Graduate Studies Co-ordinator of the Institut de génie biomedical. Any required courses that are at the undergraduate level will be considered as supplementary to the student’s study plan.
