More than marks?supplementary applicationYes
  • A high school transcript is just 1 piece of information Queen's University uses when making an admission decision. Each applicant to Queen's has a personalized To Do List, detailing exactly what is needed to complete their application. Students can review their To Do List (and associated due dates) on their Queen's SOLUS Student Centre. Applicants to Commerce, Health Sciences, and Nursing are required to complete a Supplementary Application. Students will receive instructions for accessing SOLUS and their Supplementary Application after they apply.
  • Alternative Offers
  • Queen's does not make alternate offers of admission. Applicants will be considered only for the program(s) to which they have applied (or amended) via the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) by the published deadlines.

What you studyBiological SciencesMolecular Biology, BiochemistryOthers in Subjects Related to Medicine
What it isNursing is a program where you study how to care for patients, manage their treatment, and support their health across hospitals, clinics, and community settings. Unlike a general health science degree, nursing combines classroom learning in anatomy, pharmacology, and patient care with hands-on clinical placements where you work alongside qualified nurses. This program suits people who want direct patient contact, are comfortable with responsibility for others' wellbeing, and are willing to work in demanding, shift-based roles.You study the science and practice of patient care, learning human anatomy, pharmacology, and clinical skills alongside supervised hospital and community placements. This is a direct entry program, meaning you begin nursing coursework immediately rather than completing general prerequisites first. It suits people who are confident they want to become registered nurses and are ready to combine classroom learning with hands-on patient care from the start.Biomedical Science is the study of how living systems work at the molecular level, focusing on chemistry, genetics, and cell biology as they relate to human health and disease. It goes deeper into biochemistry and molecular mechanisms than a general biology degree, preparing you for careers in research, diagnostics, or further study in medicine or related fields. The program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom and paid work in labs or healthcare settings. It suits students who want a science degree grounded in medical applications but are not yet committed to a specific health profession.
