Queen’s students come from more than
70
countries and all across Canada
The Queen’s Student: You
Q
ueen’s attracts students who want to excel, and who want to do. Surrounded by bright,
motivated peers, and aided and encouraged by Queen’s supportive atmosphere,
you’ll spend four years being taught by some of the ﬁnest academic minds anywhere –
acclaimed philosophers and social scientists, innovative engineers and ﬁrst-rate scientists.
Queen’s challenges students intellectually, and they rise to the challenge. But for Queen’s
students, the university experience is more than what happens in the classroom. It’s
working on reducing the university’s carbon footprint, or providing local school kids
with the chance to attend a summer science camp. It’s immersing yourself in Queen’s
famous school spirit, by taking part in a sport or cheering from the sidelines.

Queen’s students come from more than 70 countries and all across Canada, and from every imaginable
background – small towns and suburbs, urban highrises and First Nations communities. You’ll meet
people like yourself – and others who are very diﬀerent. Your fellow students will be among the
most interesting, creative and provocative individuals you will ever encounter. They will challenge
you. You won’t always agree with them, but you will get a big part of your university education from
them, in conversations over meals or in late night discussions in residence rooms.
Incoming Average
of the 1st year class:
88.4%
The Queen’s experience doesn’t end with
graduation. The friendships you make will
last the rest of your life. Wherever you go,
whatever path you choose – business or
government, law or medicine, the media
or the arts – you will ﬁnd and work with
fellow Queen’s graduates. An international,
cross-generational community of
excellence, people committed to dreaming
and doing, to living the Queen’s spirit.

STudENT ExPERIENCE
WITH A PuRPoSE
Student experience. You’ll hear those words all the time when you are researching
universities.
At Queen’s student experience has purpose and meaning and it will take you places.
It will help you achieve your hopes for the future—whatever that might be! A career?
Future study? More research? Want to save the world?
Come to the school where 23,000 students and 140,000 alumni started their future.
A Road Map to Your Future
It’s a road map that we have been using for over 170 years to educate future leaders and it works. We asked
a few of our most recent graduates what they had to say about their student experience with a purpose.
1
Get the courses you need
Economics challenged both
the analytical and creative
sides of my brain. I wrote
essays and read books,
solved math problems and
dealt with graphs and data
manipulation. This was
really important to me, I
wouldn’t be able to pick
one way of thinking/learning over the other, and
economics at Queen’s
understands that these two
approaches are complimentary. Secondly, the professors
in the department were
kind, intelligent and made
me care about what I was
learning.
Fanny, Bachelor of Arts (Honours),
Economics, 2013. Now a Brand
Planner at an Advertising Agency.

2
Get relevant experience
I honed my communication
skills (both verbal and
written), prioritized and
managed a variety of projects, and learned to adapt
my working style to match
group dynamics during
group assignments. In my
upper year seminars, I often
had to research a topic
and lead a class discussion.
Those experiences have
helped me adapt to the
working world, as the skills
I gained transferred into the
workplace.
Lara, Bachelor of Arts (Honours),
Medial in Psychology and English,
2011. Now an Admission Coordinator.
3
Get connected
with the community
I met a lot of people and
they were often the ones
that told me about career
opportunities and helped
me develop interpersonal
skills that are necessary
for my current job. Being
involved in such a variety
of activities also gave me
a very broad knowledge
of the Queen’s community,
which is important in my
job and when relating to
others.
Alastair, Bachelor of Arts (Honours),
Psychology, 2014. Now works at
Queen’s.

Map Your Future
At Queen’s we have Major Maps for most of
our programs. They are designed to help you
take advantage of your Student Experience
so that you can get where you want to go…
and maybe have some fun doing it.
careers.queensu.ca/majormaps
4
Get thinking globally
Coming to the realization to
switch careers from nursing
to pursuing a masters in public
health was largely due to my
extra-curricular experiences
on Queen’s Health outreach.
By travelling to a First Nations
community in Northern
ontario, I was able to immerse
myself in the community-level
health. As a volunteer student,
teaching health education in
the elementary school and
working with the community
members was an eye-opening,
but incredible, experience.
To this day, my experience
continues to shift my focus
towards Canadian health
policy, community development initiatives, and global
health.
5
Get ready for life
after graduation
Playing on a varsity team
taught me a lot about
teamwork. From sitting on
the bench as a rookie, to
being captain in my upper
years, I learned about how
to work as a team, how to
work hard, how to lead
and how to follow. It also
taught me the direct correlation between the amount
of effort I put in (be it at the
pool, weight room or library)
and results.

GLOBALLY
Many Queen’s students enhance their education with an international experience. You may
choose to study for your entire first year or an upper-year term at the Bader International
Study Centre, Queen’s campus in the united Kingdom. or perhaps your sights are set on an
international exchange – you can take courses on a region’s language, literature or culture
before you go!
Maybe you’ll choose to experience the world closer to home by getting involved in one of
the many student-led organizations that are working to make life better for global citizens –
socially, politically, environmentally and economically.

International opportunities with Queen’s
BADer InTernATIOnAL STUDY CenTre (BISC)
Providing a remarkable venue for study and a gateway to Europe and beyond, the Bader International Study
Centre in East Sussex, uK or “the Castle” as it is known by Queen’s students, is a unique learning environment.
Students from around the world have the opportunity to pursue studies in a truly international setting while
earning credits toward their academic degree programs. Students may opt to spend their entire ﬁrst year at the
BISC as part of the innovative First-Year Program, or they may decide to spend one or more terms in the BISC
upper-Year Program. If you don’t decide to say “Yes” to Queen’s you can still study at the Castle. Many students
from universities other than Queen’s choose to study for a term or participate in one of our Field Studies
courses in the summer. Learn more on page 0.
exCHAnGe
Perhaps you have decided you would like to study a new language or pursue a language you have already
started studying on campus. What better way to learn than to immerse yourself in a new culture and a new
language by going on exchange? or maybe you’ve decided you would really love to involve yourself in deeper
study of a particular topic. Why not visit the university that is doing ground-breaking research in that area?
Students go on exchange for many reasons. What will your reason be? Queen’s has a robust exchange program
with 10 opportunities in 70 countries around the world. See page 1 for a list of countries where your Queen’s
exchange might take you.

DISCIPLIneS
HUmAnITIeS
Students who choose subjects in the Humanities can expect
to see the world diﬀerently by interpreting human history,
culture and artistic expression.
How should we understand the past? What is the place of
religion in human society? How does literature contribute
to human culture? How can we build a fair society in which
everyone can thrive? Studying Art History, Classical Studies,
english Language and Literature, History, Indigenous
Studies, Jewish Studies, medieval Studies, Philosophy,
religious Studies and Spanish and Latin American Studies
will help you use your imagination and creativity to reﬂect
upon diﬀerent scholars’ and writers’ answers to the “big” questions. You will learn to think clearly and critically, extending
your insights into philosophies of the individual and the
workings of human societies from antiquity to the present.
7
LAnGUAGeS
The study of languages unlocks new worlds of literature and
culture. Knowledge of a language other than English enables
you to travel, live and work in another country. Explore the
foundations of language in the Linguistics or french
Linguistics program or pursue literary and cultural studies in
french, German, Greek, Italian, Latin or Spanish (including
Spanish and Latin American Studies). Language instruction
courses are also oﬀered in Arabic, Chinese, modern Hebrew,
Inuktitut, Japanese, Mohawk and Portuguese. Students interested in historical languages can study ancient Greek, biblical
Hebrew, and Latin. In our globalized world, every student can
beneﬁt from exposure to cultural diversity through language,
literature and culture courses. Queen’s also oﬀers a minor
plan in World Language Studies, in which students study
two or more languages as a complement to their primary
degree program.
SOCIAL SCIenCeS
If you are intrigued by the behaviour and interactions of
human beings, both as individuals and in groups, consider
the Social Sciences. Topics range from psychological drives
and motivations to economic growth and development;
from political practices and institutions to patterns of family
interaction; from the eﬀect of human interventions on the
environment to the roles of women in diﬀerent societies.
Social Science plans are oﬀered in Applied economics,
Cognitive Studies, economics, environmental Studies,
Geography, Global Development Studies, Health Studies,
Political Studies, Psychology, Sociology, and Gender
Studies. You will be encouraged to approach human beings
and human life with curiosity and an open mind, to investigate
issues with careful research, and to draw conclusions based
on empirical evidence.

Active Learning in Arts and Science
In the Faculty of Arts and Science, innovative course design is going beyond the lecture
format to enable you to engage in a personal learning experience. The focus is on
your classroom experience. You will work collaboratively in small groups and actively
participate in your own learning regardless of the course enrolment. our active learning
strategies are about engagement – your engagement.

STUDY
What is Active Learning?
An active learning experience is achieved through a
thoughtful and purposeful combination of classroom
learning and online learning. The speciﬁc design of
each blended course is unique, but in general:
expect to
• Be excited about your classes!
• Focus your classroom time on small group activities,
active discussion and collaborative learning, where
you will apply, discuss, debate and engage in deeper
understanding of concepts and theories
• Spend fewer classroom hours listening to lectures
• Learn the fundamentals of your course work
through interactive online materials and reading
• Enjoy the freedom of being able to do some of your
course work without leaving your home! (We think
this is really nice when going to a traditional class
might mean walking there in the middle of a
snow storm…)
• Be challenged, and learn from your professors,
teaching assistants and your fellow students
We want to provide you with the best possible learning experiences. Studies show that
courses that focus on active and collaborative learning in the classroom engage students
better than traditional lecture-only courses. A student-centred approach, and the active
learning strategies that characterize blended courses, are key to this success.

“I come from a small town, so when deciding
which university I would attend, the choice for me
was to stay close to friends and family or to step
outside my comfort zone to attend Queen’s.
Receiving a Queen’s major admission award
tipped the balance in Queen’s favour. That choice
has turned out to be one of the best decisions
I’ve ever made. My advice is to get involved in
something that moves you. This community
certainly has countless opportunities for you to
do so. If you’re doing something you enjoy, you
will no doubt do it with passion and enthusiasm,
and that is what really matters. Do what you love,
do it well, and enjoy every minute of your Queen’s
experience.”

money Talk!
Money talk can take on a language of its own. This glossary will help you decipher some of the student ﬁnancial
assistance terminology.
Award
• Is non-repayable – an amount of money you receive to assist you in ﬁnancing your education that you do not
have to pay back.
• Is a general term used to describe a scholarship or bursary. In some cases, the term award is used when there is a
blend of academic, ﬁnancial need and/or other criteria associated with the terms of the award.
• All Queen’s admission awards will be deposited in your student fee account by August 1.
Bursary
• Is non-repayable – an amount of money you receive to assist you in ﬁnancing your education that you do not have
to pay back.
• Based on an assessment of your ﬁnancial need (see page ) for more information on Queen’s admission bursaries).
Admission Scholarship
• Is non-repayable – an amount of money you receive to recognize your academic achievement.
• Based on academic excellence (your high school grades). Sometimes also referred to as a merit-based award.
• In some cases, there may be other criteria such as involvement in school and community.
renewable awards
• Is non-repayable.
• Renewable scholarships and awards are available to students as they enter the university. These awards are
available to the recipients in future years as long as the renewal criteria are satisﬁed during each year of study
at Queen’s.
Grant
• Not a loan! An amount of money you do not have to pay back.
• Governments, companies and organizations oﬀer grants to students who meet certain conditions, such as
ﬁnancial need, academic skill, or special ability.
Loan
• Money you receive that must be paid back, usually over a period of time.
• Loans under government student assistance programs are interest-free while you are a full-time student and are
based on ﬁnancial need. You will begin to repay loans when you cease to be a full-time student.
Some provinces/territories within Canada may have programs which reduce the amount of repayable loans.
• A student line of credit is a loan from a ﬁnancial institution (ie. commercial bank). You pay only the interest while
you are in school. You begin repayment of the principal after you have graduated. unlike government student loans,
a student line of credit is not based on ﬁnancial need. To qualify, you usually require a co-signer (eg. parent or
guardian). You can apply for a student line of credit at most major Canadian banks.
reSP
• A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is a special savings plan that many families have used to save for
their child’s post-secondary education.
Work Study Program
• Provides students with demonstrated ﬁnancial need, priority for certain part-time jobs on campus and for jobs
with not-for-proﬁt organizations.

Admission at Queen’s is very competitive and we use the PSE
and Supplementary Essay* and your academic record to help
us make admission decisions. The PSE is a mandatory document
for every undergraduate program. The Supplementary Essay*
is required for some programs and it must be submitted at
the same time you submit your PSE.
Queen’s will use your PSE and Supplementary Essay at our
discretion. Some students will be offered admission based
solely on their academic average. For other students—
whose average places them above a minimum admission
average (as determined by Queen’s)— offers of admission
will be made based on a combination of their academic
average and the PSE and Supplementary Essay*. The
minimum average, and the number of students selected
based on the PSE varies, based on the number of applicants
to the program and the number of spaces available in the
program. The unique demand of the program and the
admission circumstances in a given year are also considered.
0
The PSE and Supplementary Essay* will be evaluated
based on:
• Spelling, grammar and syntax
• Your individual experiences and accomplishments
• How well you are able to link your experiences with
the attributes Queen’s seeks
*SuPPLEMENTARY ESSAY
If you apply to one, or more, of the following programs, you will be required
to submit an additional Supplementary Essay, for each program, due at the
same time you submit your PSE:
• Concurrent Education
• Commerce
• Kinesiology/Physical Education
