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.

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.

The Graduate Program in Cancer Research is a multidisciplinary collaborative progra

The hallmark of the Life Sciences program is a unique blend of disciplines represented by basic and clinical biomedical science departments in the Faculty of Health Sciences. These departments include Biomedical and Molecular Sciences, Public Health Sciences, and Pathology and Molecular Medicine, in collaboration with the Cancer Research Institute, the Centre for Neuroscience Studies, the Cardiac, Circulation and Respiratory Group, and the Research Group in Reproduction and Development.

Biochemistry is the branch of science that explores the structures and chemical processes of molecules in living organisms that interact to form cells, tissues, and whole organisms. The Biochemistry program at Queen’s provides students with in-depth training in a wide range of important topics that are related to these processes, including the mechanisms of cancer progression, cellular communication, and the molecular and chemical basis of infection, inheritance, and disease.

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.
