Is this degree for you?
Dive into a world where cutting-edge engineering meets life-saving innovations in one of Canada’s first and longest-running biomedical undergraduate programs. With top-tier professors and collaborations in surrounding world-class hospitals, you’ll be at the forefront of healthcare advancements.
In your first year of the Biomedical Engineering degree program, you’ll learn engineering fundamentals, like calculus and physics. In later years, you’ll study topics such as biomechanics, medical robotics and rehabilitation and tissue engineering. In fourth year, your capstone design project will provide you applied design and implementation experience and opportunities to participate in hospital collaborative projects. You’ll also have opportunities to gain experience through an optional paid co-op.
Experiential learning opportunities: Co-op available
From designing electrocardiogram (ECG) circuitry to working with clinicians at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU)'s Biomedical Zone or the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Technology (iBEST), you’ll have opportunities to shape the future of health care before you graduate.

Academic requirements for full-time, 4-year program
To be considered for admission, Ontario high school students must meet the following requirements:
- Completion of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD)
- Completion of 6 Grade 12 U or M courses with a minimum overall average of 70%
- Completion of the following required Grade 12 U courses (minimum grade of 70% in each):
- English/anglais (ENG4U/EAE4U preferred)
- Advanced Functions (MHF4U)
- Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U)
- Physics (SPH4U)
- Chemistry (SCH4U)
An overall average of 70% is required for consideration. Due to competition, the average needed for admission can fluctuate each year (it depends on the number of applications received and the number of spaces available). The grade range at the top of this page represents the average required in previous years.
Academic admission requirements for all other applicants are available on the admission requirements page. If you haven’t been educated in Ontario, you may be considered with the equivalent of the Ontario requirements. TMU reserves the right to determine equivalency at its sole discretion.
