Co-op and careers

The multi-disciplinary training in Biomedical Engineering can lead to careers working in research hospitals, academic centres, and industry, as well as government and regulatory agencies.

With a well-rounded education, graduates may contribute directly to the biomedical and health economy of Canada from developing medical devices and analyzing biomedical data to designing new diabetic monitoring, cancer-imaging systems or the latest sporting equipment.

Since biomedical engineering is a research intensive area of study, students may choose to attend graduate school to become highly trained specialists. This opens many doors to careers in industry and biomedical research. A graduate degree, combined with two years of work experience through co-op, will set students up for success in an increasingly competitive job market.
