Programs in Biomedical and Molecular Sciences offer thesis-based MSc research degrees, PhD degrees, MSc (Anatomical Sciences) and a combined MD/MSC and MD/PhD program.

In the first two degree programs (MSc and PhD), students would choose one of the following fields of specialization:

• Biochemistry and Cell Biology
• Experimental Medicine
• Microbes, Immunity, and Inflammation
• Reproduction and Developmental Sciences
• Therapeutics, Drug Development, and Human Toxicology

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.

Applied Sustainability is the application of science and innovation to meet human needs while indefinitely preserving the life support systems of the planet. The objective of the Collaborative Masters Program in Applied Sustainability is to expose MEng and MASc students to the implementation of sustainable engineering solutions within the context of broader sustainability theory.

The Earth Systems Science Specialization pairs the applied multidisciplinary perspective of environmental studies with in-depth scientific training in physical geography. Students take a holistic view of the Earth and emphasize the interactions between land, water, and air to understand and address the impacts of environmental change.

The Environmental Life Sciences Specialization pairs the multidisciplinary perspective of environmental studies with in-depth scientific training into how the human body works and how issues such as water quality, environmental contaminants, and infectious diseases, affect human health.

The Environmental Toxicology Specialization pairs the multidisciplinary perspective of environmental studies with in-depth scientific training on the adverse effects of pollutants and contaminants on living organisms and ecosystems.

The Environmental Geology Specialization pairs the applied multidisciplinary perspective of environmental studies with in-depth training in geological sciences. Students learn about the processes and structures associated with the solid-earth, including geological resources and issues associated with their extraction.

The Environmental Chemistry Specialization pairs the applied multidisciplinary perspective of environmental studies with in-depth scientific training in chemistry. Students draw on these foundations to understand the behaviour of chemicals in the environment and consider how chemicals and industrial processes can be improved to reduce their impact.

The Environmental Biology specialization pairs the applied multidisciplinary perspective of environmental studies with in-depth scientific training in biology. Students draw on foundations in genetics, physiology, evolution, and ecology to address challenging topics like pollution, conservation, and climate change.
