Graduate

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

In our post-graduate program, we intend to foster world-class laboratory facilities in this department to enable cutting-edge research in different key areas of biomedical engineering. The graduate program of BME has already been approved by the academic council of BUET and we hope to begin the admission process in mid-2021. The BME postgraduate program will offer three degrees, namely: M.Sc. Engg., M. Engg., and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering (BME). The program will offer in a total of 30 courses including the thesis. Courses will have specializations in the following areas: Biomedical Imaging & Instrumentation, Biomaterials, Biomechanics, Biomedical Informatics. We have also included some multidisciplinary courses that span various specializations. The postgraduate program syllabus can found here.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

For admission to the courses leading to the degree of M.Sc. Engg./M.Engg. (BME), an applicant must have obtained a B.Sc. Engg. degree in the relevant branch or an equivalent degree from any recognized institution. An applicant with a B.Sc. Engg. degree in other branches of engineering may also be eligible for admission to the courses leading to the degree of M.Sc. Engg. (BME)/ M. Engg. (BME). In such cases, the selected candidate may be required to undertake non-credit prerequisite courses at the undergraduate and/or postgraduate level as may be determined by the BPGS of the department of Biomedical Engineering.

A student already working for an M.Sc.Engg./ M.Sc.(BME) degree at this University and showing excellent progress and promise in thesis work may be provisionally transferred to the Ph.D. degree program after completion of M.Sc. Engg./ M.Sc.(BME) course work with a minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0 on approval of the Committee for Advanced Studies and Research (CASR) on the recommendation of the relevant Board of Post Graduate Studies (BPGS)/Research and Academic Committee (RAC). An applicant with an M.Sc.’Engg./M. Engg. Degree in other branches of engineering may also be eligible for admission. In such cases, the selected candidate may be required to undertake non-credit prerequisite courses at the undergraduate and/or postgraduate level as may be determined by the BPGS of Biomedical Engineering (BME) Department.
