Graduate
The Biomedical Engineering Graduate program is a coordinated graduate program in Biomedical Engineering for the Province of Alberta, offered jointly by the University of Calgary and the University of Alberta. This program establishes a Western Canadian centre of excellence in biomedical engineering graduate education and research by coordinating and consolidating the complementary research and teaching programs at the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary. The unique design of this program has U of C and U of A sharing resources through core and elective courses taught over a high-speed video link, ensuring that students draw upon the expertise of researchers and instructors at both universities.

Research at Calgary is carried out in numerous locations throughout the Faculties of Medicine, Kinesiology, and Science, as well as the Schulich School of Engineering. Facilities include the McCaig Centre, the Human Performance Laboratory, the Sports Medicine Centre, the Pharmaceutical Production Research Facility, and the Calgary Centre for Innovative Technology. Over 40 faculty members are currently involved in multidisciplinary biomedical engineering projects.
Biomedical Engineering can be divided into the following six areas:
- bioinstrumentation and imaging
- clinical engineering
- rehabilitation engineering
- biomechanics
- biomaterials
- systems physiology.
The U of A is known internationally mainly in areas 1, 2, and 3 with a lesser presence in areas 4 and 6, while the international presence of the U of C is in areas 4, 5, and 6 with some expertise in area 1. When blended, the full range of topics is covered.
