Programs in Biomedical and Molecular Sciences offer thesis-based MSc research degrees, PhD degrees, MSc (Anatomical Sciences) and a combined MD/MSC and MD/PhD program.

In the first two degree programs (MSc and PhD), students would choose one of the following fields of specialization:

• Biochemistry and Cell Biology
• Experimental Medicine
• Microbes, Immunity, and Inflammation
• Reproduction and Developmental Sciences
• Therapeutics, Drug Development, and Human Toxicology

The Department of Public Health Sciences home to four graduate programs: Master of Public Health (MPH), Master of Science in Epidemiology (MSc), Master of Science in Biostatistics (MSc) and, PhD in Public Health Sciences (PhD). Particular strengths of our department include evidence-informed public health, applied biostatistics, the study of cancer causes and treatments, child health, mental health, developmental disabilities and injury.

Translational Medicine is driven by patients and their diseases. Guided by this primary focus, translational research spans across the spectrum from molecular and cell biology to preclinical models to patient studies and back again.

Our graduate programs (MSc and PhD) offer students unique opportunities to develop research skills with clinical experiences through patient interactions, clinical observerships, and by attending medical grand rounds.

The doctoral and master's programs in Rehabilitation Science at Queen's University stress the multi-disciplinary contribution of many health professions and disciplines to rehabilitation. Students are exposed to the broadest scope of rehabilitation science and are provided with a unique opportunity to develop insight and understanding of the multidisciplinary and inter-professional aspects of rehabilitation. This approach is an innovative feature of the program and is unique to the Queen's program in Rehabilitation Science.

The DSc (RHL) is a 36 month executive-style degree program that allows students to continue working while completing the degree through a blend of onsite sessions and online learning.

The DSc (RHL) equips currently practicing rehabilitation and health professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to confidently pursue career opportunities that require advanced competencies in leadership, program development, applied research and evaluation, advocacy, change management, and knowledge translation.

Our graduate program offers opportunities to pursue MSc and PhD degrees under the supervision of an exceptional group of basic, clinical and translational researchers.  The major areas of research are cancer biology, genetics, hemostasis and vascular biology. 

The Bachelor of Nursing Science (BNSc) program offers two full-time degree streams. The BNSc four-year program and the two-year accelerated program, for those with previous university experience. Both streams offer hands-on practical experience in a variety of responsive clinical and community settings, producing experienced, confident nurses. Graduates receive a Bachelor of Nursing degree (BNSc), and after passing their professional certification exam, are designated as Registered Nurses

The Centre for Neuroscience Studies offers interdisciplinary MSc and PhD graduate programs recruiting expertise from a variety of research areas and backgrounds. Our research areas range from the use of cellular/molecular and genetic approaches to those that emphasize neuronal systems, whole organism and clinical studies. Neuroscience Studies can also involve disease specific research programs on neurological and psychiatric illnesses such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke, mood disorders, epilepsy, development and chronic pain to name a few.

Smith's MSc and PhD programs offer students the opportunity to develop critical thinking and research skills and delve deeply into specific topics within their area of interest. These programs prepare graduates for an academic or research-oriented career.

Master of Science in Management

The Master of Science in Healthcare Quality program provides professionals with the knowledge and tools to research, advocate and implement strategies for risk reduction, quality improvement and safety promotion within the healthcare systems.

The PhD in Health Quality will prepare experts to go on to improve the delivery of healthcare through teaching, the development of new methodologies and theoretical frameworks, and testing innovation in the field of health quality.
