M.S. or Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering
All Study Programs:
Biomedical Engineering is a closely related network of life sciences, the physical sciences and engineering. It is a field in which engineering principles and techniques are applied to the life sciences and medicine. It covers a wide spectrum of activities which includes the development of artificial organs and limbs, implantable medical devices, tissue engineering, biomedical instrumentation, biosensors, computing in medical research and diagnosis, signal or image processing, clinical engineering, rehabilitation engineering and cardiovascular, neurological, and respiratory engineering. The diagnostic and therapeutic tools available to the physician entering the twenty-first century represent complex and intricate applications of engineering. This program incorporates a blended instructional format that includes both resident and non-resident instructional modules.
The Ph.D. in Bioengineering is a research degree awarded on the basis of the thesis submitted, and typically takes three or four years to complete. Our Ph.D. training aims to provide students with a qualification of international standing that is suited for an industrial or academic career. To achieve this, we complement work on the research project with three further elements of training:
- Departmental courses or modules on relevant topics, which students may attend to deepen their project-specific understanding.
- Interdisciplinary research seminars and courses taught at the Institute and elsewhere, from which students can acquire knowledge of new areas.
- A variety of courses offered by the Institute which are designed to broaden the student’s range of transferable skills.
Application Restrictions
Graduates with a degree in engineering, any physical sciences, mathematics, biological sciences, physiology or medicine may be accepted into the program. We accept applicants with a B.S. and a 3.2 GPA from USA, EU, or other countries; however candidates with non-USA qualifications may also require a M.S. to be eligible for research. As well, we accept equivalent USA, and EU M.S. degrees with a 3.0 GPA.
Before making your official Einstein Medical Institute application, please consult admissions to decide which area you would like to work in and with which potential supervisor. You will be put into contact with your potential supervisor(s) to find out what research opportunities are available. Once you have established contact with a potential supervisor, they will ask you to make your official application via Admissions to The Einstein Medical Institute. We will not be able to process your application if you do not list a preferred topic and supervisor(s) on your form.
