Health Sciences

The Bachelor of Health Sciences Program was designed to prepare our students for a variety of health-related careers. In order to ensure this, we balance the biomedical and social science aspects of human health, and focus on the application of this content and the development of practical competencies. In both the on-campus and online programs, courses are designed to make sure our students are thinking about the material being presented in modules and extending it to real-life scenarios, either through in-person classroom sessions or online discussions and assessments.

Geological Engineering

Geological engineers combine core engineering fundamentals with a broad slate of geological knowledge, ranging from geology to geotechnical engineering. You will study physics, chemistry, applied mathematics, and natural processes such as earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, and mountain formation. You will also acquire field, laboratory, and computer simulation skills and training in state-of-the-art geological investigation and engineering analysis tools.

French Studies

Studying French opens a wide range of opportunities, especially in Canada. The Department of French Studies offers undergraduate students interested in pursuing the subject in-depth the chance to study French as either a minor, a medial, or a major. We also offer courses for the complete beginner and Certificates of Competencies for students not registered in a French Plan. Courses offered focus on oral and written French as well as on literature and culture. For interested students, it is also possible to study French in either Quebec or France on exchange.

Film and Media

With a focus on critical thinking, our students examine a wide variety of media – including film, television, web and social media – in order to better understand and contribute to contemporary visual culture. Our program integrates this material with a diverse range of studies courses in history, theory, and criticism as well as foundational and advanced production courses in digital video, animation, and open media.

Engineering Chemistry

The only program of its kind in North America, Engineering Chemistry graduates are accredited as both chartered chemists and as professional engineers. Get a strong foundation in two disciplines, covering organic and inorganic chemistry, reactivity, structural determination and molecular materials and focusing on the pillars of chemical diagnostics, alternative energy, and process synthesis.

Employment Relations

The world of work is changing. Rapid technological change has led to unprecedented challenges. But while technology may have accelerated the economy, it will always be people who keep it running. Employment Relations focuses on the complex relationships between people - the employees and employers who keep the world of work running - and the laws and government policies that ensure an equitable and inclusive workplace. Because an equitable and inclusive workplace isn’t just about creating a more productive economy, it’s about sustaining happy and healthy people. 

Electrical and Computer Engineering: Innovation Stream

Get all the benefits of Queen’s leading Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) programs with a specialized curriculum starting in your first year that prioritizes entrepreneurship and business skills. All of the robust engineering education of our ECE program is paired with team-based learning, networking, and guidance and coaching on business models and innovation development.

Concurrent Education

Queen’s Concurrent Education is a five-year + one summer term program that prepares secondary school graduates to become educators and qualify for Ontario College of Teachers certification. Our graduates are out into the job market a year earlier, since most other Ontario faculties of education offer their programs over 6 years with typical fall/winter semesters.

Computing and the Creative Arts

This innovative program is aimed at students with interests and abilities in both Computing and the Fine Arts. You can participate in advanced courses in Art, Drama, Film, or Music while maintaining a solid concentration in Computer Science and Mathematics. Fill out your degree with electives in other Arts areas and interdisciplinary courses of all kinds. Graduates can expect to work in the entertainment industry, in art galleries and museums, in multimedia design and production, and in developing the next generation of software for the Arts.
