Black Studies

The undergraduate program in Black Studies at Queen's is a diverse, interdisciplinary program that explores and engages the connections between the arts, social justice, decolonial thought, and practices of anti-oppression. Our program spans multiple faculties and units to bring together world-leading experts in art and activism, geography and planning, global health, literature, creative writing, history, music, philosophy, political thought, religion, and cognate fields of race and anti-racism.

Biology - Psychology

Humans and other animals have more in common than you might think. From neurological systems to patterns of behaviour, this four year Subject of Specialization Plan fuses core elements from Biology and Psychology and allows considerable opportunity for upper year specialization and independent study. With an emphasis on cross-disciplinary interaction and integration, the "BioPsych" SSP explores both commonalities and uniquely human features of brain, behaviour and cognition.

Astrophysics

A degree in Astrophysics provides you with training in theory, computation, statistical modelling, data analysis, and experimental methods as you pursue problems in fundamental and applied research. Astrophysicists create simple mathematical models to describe complex astrophysical phenomena and test these models by making astronomical observations, collecting data, and comparing this data with numerical simulations. The skills obtained are highly sought after and transferrable to a wide range of fields.

Fine Art (Visual Art)

As a Fine Art (Visual Art) student at Queen’s, you’ll be part of a small group of 30 students benefiting from intensive training in painting, printmaking, sculpture, and new media/installation. Our courses are taught by instructors active in their fields, and supported through insight into the practices of visiting artists from across the country. Along with an internationally renowned artist in residence and courses in art history and the liberal arts, our program provides a broad spectrum of approaches and experiences.

Technological Education

Our Technological Education program prepares students with wage-earning experience in broad-based technological areas including communications, technology, computer technology, health care, green industries, technological design, and more, to teach grades 9-12.

University graduates can earn a second degree in this program (a Bachelor of Education) and Secondary school graduates may earn a Diploma of Education.

Candidates who complete the program are eligible for Ontario College of Teachers Certification. The program is open to candidates wishing to teach either Primary-Junior or Intermediate-Senior.

Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering

Push the boundaries of intelligent autonomous systems and world-changing technologies, from mobile robotics to control systems to artificial intelligence. This program brings global experts and researchers to the classroom to work with students on hands-on projects in robotics and mechatronics with real-world applications. Shape the program to your specific interests in your final year, specializing in automation, robotics, biomedical engineering, or intelligent systems.
