Unique in North America, the GeoEngineering program is a collaboration between faculty members at Queen’s University and the Royal Military College (RMC). Drawn from three engineering departments at the two universities, the GeoEngineering Centre’s members are dedicated to advancing knowledge in geotechnical, geohydrological, geochemical, geohazards, and cold regions.
In Queen’s collaborative graduate programs in engineering and applied physics, research is centred around themes that use basic science and physics to improve quality of life and to solve current or future problems facing people both in Canada and worldwide. This research spans areas of photonics, quantum information technology, medical physics, non-destructive evaluation, materials physics, electronic device physics and plasma physics.

The Graduate Program in Cancer Research is a multidisciplinary collaborative progra
Undergraduate program: Explore the minerals industry and related environmental and technological fields. You’ll study a wide range of disciplines involved in locating, extracting, refining, and disposing of mineral and metal products and by-products – leading to various dynamic career options in a truly global field.
The Certificate in Law (CiL) program is your entry point into the fascinating world of Canadian law. Whether you are discovering if a JD or LLM is right for you, or building your skills and competencies to supplement your degree or professional field, the CiL will provide you with a foundational understanding of Canada’s legal system and critical knowledge that can be applied to any discipline.
Housed in the state-of-the-art Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts, Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies is unique because of its linkage of adjacent disciplines: film and media studies and, more generally, the study of screen cultures, film and media production, and curatorial studies and practice.
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.
Biomedical Engineering involves the application of engineering principles to understand, modify, or control biological systems with the objective of generating solutions to health-related problems. This area is diverse and multidisciplinary, bringing in concepts from chemistry, cell biology, mechanics, bioelectricity, mathematics, and physiology. The multidisciplinary nature of the field is reflected in our collaborative biomedical engineering Master’s and PhD programs.
Undergraduate program: Mechanical engineers are needed wherever there are machines or devices - including the human body. Their work covers every stage of design, manufacturing, testing, operation, and research. Queen’s provides the skills needed to excel in the broad field of mechanical engineering, with a general option as well as specializations in biomechanical or materials engineering.
