M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering

Stages: There are three stages of study. All of the stages require an advisor before starting

1. Part-Time students: students working in the industry, and in parallel plan to complete a M.Sc. degree. They are admitted to the Accumulative Study (AS) Stage, which can last no longer than 3 academic years (minimum 3 courses per year).
