How the formal pathway works
Admission route
Orthopaedic research students enrol in an existing graduate programme such as Experimental Medicine or Biomedical Engineering. For Experimental Medicine, a supervisor must agree to accept the student before an offer of admission, and a comprehensive examination is required by the end of the second year.
Funding check
The pages reviewed do not set out programme-level funding; discuss funding with the prospective supervisor and check UBC graduate awards for eligibility.
