The “Master of Engineering” is a non-thesis degree which requires the completion of coursework and the submission of a final project.
The program is geared for graduates of Engineering, Exact Sciences, Life Sciences and Medicine who have strong undergraduate records.
Admission to the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering is subject to the requirements and regulations of the Graduate School.
The admission decision is in the hands of the Faculty Committee for Graduate Studies and will be based on its professional considerations. As part of the application’s examination, the committee will consider the applicant’s academic background, their undergraduate/graduate cumulative average and their achievements in specific subjects included in their undergraduate/graduate studies. It will also consider additional information regarding academic, scientific and professional competence.
Additional faculty considerations (such as a restriction on the number of positions and advisory potential) will also be taken into account.
Graduates of a Biomedical Engineering Faculty from universities with an average of 83 and above will be accepted as “Regular Students”. If the average ranges between 82 and 83, they will considered for acceptance as “Qualifying Students”.
Graduates of an Engineering Faculty with an average higher than 84 who have been accepted by the Faculty, will be required to fulfill academic obligations as specified in the Supplementary Studies section and will be accepted as “Regular Students”.
Graduates of a three-year degree from a an Exact Sciences Faculty with an average higher than 84 who have been accepted by the Faculty, will be required to fulfill academic obligations as specified in the Supplementary Studies section and will be accepted as “Qualifying Students”. Qualifying students will be able to switch to “Regular” status after completing supplementary subjects.
Life Sciences graduates and others with an average higher than 87, who have been accepted by the Faculty, will be required to fulfill academic obligations as specified in the Supplementary Studies section and will be accepted as “Qualifying Students”. Qualifying students will be able to switch to “Regular” status after completing supplementary subjects.
Engineering/Exact Sciences graduates with an average of 82-84, who have been accepted by the Faculty, will also be subject to the aforementioned obligations, but will first be accepted with a “Qualifying Student” status. They will have to accumulate at least 10 credits during the first year of studies at the undergraduate/graduate level in accordance with the committee’s decision, obtaining an average of at least 85 and a grade of at least 65 in each subject.
Accumulation of 42 credits, out of which 2 credits in ‘Advanced English’, and submission of a final project.
Graduates of the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering must take at least 13 of their credits from courses offered by the Faculty. Graduates of other Faculties must take at least 20 of their credits from courses offered by the Faculty, including Body Systems Physiology for Engineers 337002.
Supplementary studies are intended to provide students with the specific engineering background necessary for their specialization and research implementation.
Students with “Qualifying” status must obtain a grade point average of above 85 in the supplementary subjects, and a passing grade in each subject (usually 65, except for courses in the supplementary courses table, whose passing grade is 75).
Upon completion of the supplementary studies and approval of the research subject, the student’s status will be changed to “Regular Student”.

Note:
Since the Faculty maintains interdisciplinary research, an individual supplementary program may be presented for each student, in accordance with his/her background and research specialization. A student may be exempted from a life science course if s/he has studied an equivalent or similar course.
The student’s supplementary program must be approved by the Graduate Committee.
A student who began his/her studies in the non-thesis track (ME) may switch to thesis track (MSc) under the following conditions:
In accordance with school procedures, the student is required to pass the Research Ethics course exam.
Graduates of the non-research master’s degree program (ME), who wish to pursue doctoral studies will be required to conduct an exploratory research project (for outstanding students only).
