The Faculty of Biomedical Engineering offers master’s degree programs for students who wish to integrate research methods, engineering design, and development in all areas of medicine.

The “Master of Science” (with a thesis) program provides students with broad knowledge and a high level of expertise in a particular field. Students are required to follow a specialized study program, conduct research, and submit a research thesis.

The research can be either theoretical or experimental, investigate particular phenomena in pure or experimental science, or present a more practical approach to engineering or manufacturing processes.

Admission to the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering is subject to the requirements and regulations of the Graduate School.

As part of a candidate’s application, the faculty committee for graduate studies will consider his/her undergraduate cumulative average and achievements in specific subjects, as well as additional data on his/her academic, scientific, and professional competence.

Additional faculty considerations (e.g., restrictions 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 84 and above will be accepted as “Regular 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 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/Science 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. In this case, 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.

Admissions Option 2

The Faculty’s scholarship policy for students is in accordance with the policy of the Graduate School.

Exemption from Tuition for Scholarship Recipients

Each scholarship portion grants a tuition exemption of 25%.

A student who receives 3 scholarship portions will receive a 75% exemption, and a student who receives 4 or more scholarship portions will receive a full exemption.

Exemption from tuition fees for students who do not receive a scholarship is granted only to mandatory service soldiers who meet the academic requirements for a scholarship.

Scholarships and Funding Option 2

Accumulation of 18 credits and submission of a research paper (thesis).

M.Sc students are required to complete an online course (218000) on “Research Ethics” as a condition for submitting their research topic.

Graduates of the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering must take at least one-third of their credits from courses offered by the Faculty. Graduates from other Faculties must take at least half of the credits from courses offered by the Faculty.

Deadline for Submission and Approval of Research Topic

“Regular” students will submit their research proposals at the beginning of the program (by the end of the month following the beginning of the semester).

Students with “Qualifying” status will submit their research proposals within two semesters from the beginning of the program and prior to transferring to “Regular” status.
