Internship

The Biomedical Engineering Industry Internship is a 16-week course for students enrolled in the Master's in Translational BME program. The internship at a host company⁽¹⁾ lasts 14 weeks, and the final 2 weeks are reserved to complete course work.

Internships need not be based in Montreal. Subject to approval, you may carry out an internship abroad. The key requirement is that your supervisor submits your assessments in English or French.
