Doctor of Philosophy in Bioengineering


Description

The PhD program is rooted in breakthroughs across bioengineering fields like cell biology, biotechnology, biomaterials, and environmental engineering. Its goal is to train students to excel in bioengineering and generate innovations in environmental preservation, sustainability, and societal challenges such as food, energy, and health. The program aims to equip diverse students with the skills to make transformative impacts on global health, sustainability, and equity.

Program Admission Requirements

The general requirements set by the College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies:

  • Two letters of recommendation, preferably from the faculty who taught the applicant graduate courses.

The BIOE department applies the following procedure to satisfy its admissions requirements:

  • A B.Sc. or an M.Sc. degree in bioengineering, biomedical engineering, bioinformatics, or closely related engineering or sciences from an institution whose graduate programs are equivalent to those of KFUPM.
  • A minimum GPA of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00 or equivalent for the applicant with a B.Sc. degree.
  • GRE is highly recommended. A high quantitative score on the GRE will enhance a student's application.KFUPM rules will be applied for transfer requirements and course equivalency.
