Why Queen’s University stands out
Queen’s University is a public research university in Kingston, Ontario, a historic city on Lake Ontario. Its graduate students come from more than 70 countries, and the university runs dedicated support for international students, including help with residence, study permits and awards. The campus sits close to the downtown core, so students live and study in a compact, walkable city.
What you can study
Queen’s offers bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programmes across arts and science, engineering and applied science, business, health sciences, nursing, law and medicine. Commerce, Nursing and Health Sciences ask for a supplementary application as well as the main application, so applicants to those programmes should allow extra time.
International admissions
International students can apply through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre, through Common App, or through Queen’s own international application. The university’s applying page explains which route fits each applicant. Students whose first language is not English must show English proficiency, and students in programmes longer than six months need a Canadian study permit. Full details are on the official admissions page.
