QUEEN ’ S UNIVER SIT Y

Queen’s is a full-spectrum, research-intensive university that conducts leading-edge
research in a variety of areas, including:
• computational science and engineering • globalization studies • mental health
• basic and clinical biomedical sciences • healthy environments and sustainable energy systems
• social issues such as surveillance, poverty and bullying.
Canada’s first capital and the tourism jewel of Southeastern
Ontario, Kingston is one of Canada’s most picturesque
towns, and home to a dynamic arts scene, business
community and a growing reputation as a destination for
foodies. A few minutes away from the historic limestone
buildings of downtown Kingston, we’re at the foot of the
UNESCO-designated Rideau Canal, the gateway of the
Thousand Islands and at the nexus of a thousand outdoor
adventures both on trails and on the water.
CELEBR ATING 175 YE AR S

For 175 years, Queen’s has been one of Canada’s finest universities, blending classic liberal arts with
cutting-edge technology education and world-renowned graduate studies programs. Over 22,000 students
are part of the Queen’s family, representing not only Canadians, but scholars from over 100 countries.
