Computer Engineering

Undergraduate studies: Computer engineers build connections between the virtual and physical worlds. In this program, you will learn to develop and advance the information and communication technology that is changing the way people live and work.

Streams of specialization include:

Civil Engineering

Undergraduate program: Learn how to design, plan, and build the structures and systems of our built world while protecting the natural environment to shape society and the world we live in. Civil engineering addresses the present challenges in environmental, geotechnical, hydrotechnical, and structural engineering including those arising from climate change.

Chemical Engineering

Undergraduate program: Learn to design, control, and optimize energy-efficient, sustainable, and economically viable processes to generate products such as energy, materials, food, pharmaceuticals, and biomedical devices. Queen’s prepares engineers to work on any scale, from mass manufacturing to micro-scale chemical reactions, with specializations in chemical process engineering and biochemical engineering.

Kinesiology

Kinesiology is the science of the human body in motion. You will learn about the physiological, biomechanical, psychological and sociological factors that influence human movement, exercise and sport performance, along with health. From the structure of the cell to the structure of society, your studies in Kinesiology will expose you to the complex factors that influence health and wellness.

Health Studies

Health Studies strives to understand the complex factors that influence physical, mental and social health and overall well-being. Drawing largely from social science disciplines, our courses explore the social determinants of health, approaches to health promotion, health policy, health behaviour change, epidemiology, and program planning and evaluation. You’ll be expected to challenge yourself and to think critically about health in relation to social justice, politics and culture. And you will gain the skills you need to do that.

Geological Sciences

Geoscientists interpret the natural world. They bring methods such as geophysics, geochemistry, geobiology and field geology together to understand the modern and ancient Earth. Clues concealed in rocks and minerals, fluids and fossils, mountains and sediments, glaciers and volcanoes are marshaled to understand and explain the Earth system at all scales.

World Indigenous Studies in Education

The World Indigenous Studies in Education program is a progressive MEd program that allows you to pursue your research interests without leaving your community, family or job. The program is offered part-time blended (online and on-campus) for students with experience in Indigenous communities and/or World Indigenous issues. We welcome allyship and students with experience and/or demonstrated commitment to Indigenous truth, reconciliation and knowledge mobilization. The first summer of the program is on-campus at Queen's University and the remaining courses are online.

Anatomical Sciences

The Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences at Queen's University offers a 16-month (September to December of the following year) MSc Program in Anatomical Sciences. This program is structured around three pillars of competency (content, pedagogy, inquiry) and designed to educate students in the art of teaching and designing curricula in Anatomical Sciences.

Aging and Health

Queen’s University Graduate Diploma (GDip), Master of Science (MSc) and Doctorate (PhD) in Aging and Health are innovative new programs that provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of aging, with a focus on health and healthy living. Students will develop multi-disciplinary knowledge of individual aging processes, the effect of aging on social systems, and the policies needed to support healthy aging. 

International Business

Smith’s Master of International Business is a full-time program beginning each year in September. Available in single and double degree options, the curriculum covers topics ranging from understanding the global economy to leading effectively in a cross-cultural context. As a direct entry program, no previous work experience is required.
