APPLY for the joint Ph.D. program!
Students apply to the program through the school designated as the home campus, either the Department of Biomedical Engineering at PKU in Beijing or the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory in Atlanta. Students will have an advisor at the home campus and co-advisor at the secondary campus. Most of the classes and research will take place on the home campus. However, students will also spend at least one year taking classes and participating in research in the co-advisor's lab on the secondary campus. Most classes will be taught in English and a single dissertation will satisfy the thesis requirements of all three institutions. Students will be fully supported as long as they maintain satisfactory progress in the program.
Primary Campus
To apply for admission to the Atlanta campus
Students who are interested in applying to the program with Atlanta as the primary campus should complete the standard admission process via the Graduate Admission Office of Georgia Tech (see http://www.gradadmiss.gatech.edu/). All standard application materials as described on the Graduate Admission website must be submitted directly to that office, as all applicants to this program will also be considered for the current BME Ph.D. program. Until this new program offering is added to the actual admission application, the following form should be completed, printed, and mailed directly to the Graduate Admission Office (address on the aforementioned website). An electronic, scanned copy of the form may also be sent to the Biomedical Engineering department via e-mail to gradstudies@bme.gatech.edu, but all forms must be mailed to Graduate Admissions.
