What it isBiomedical Science is a degree focused on the biological and chemical systems of the human body — how cells, tissues, and organs work and what happens when they malfunction. It goes deeper into human health and disease than a general biology program, preparing you for careers in medical research, clinical lab work, or further study in medicine or health professions. It suits students who want to understand disease at a molecular level and are considering healthcare-related paths but may not yet be committed to a specific professional designation.This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus.Queen's Arts offers a broad, self-directed undergraduate degree spanning humanities, social sciences, and languages. You choose your own combination of subjects — from English and economics to classical studies and environmental issues — rather than following a set curriculum. The co-op option lets you alternate study terms with paid work placements in your field of interest, which suits students who want real-world experience alongside their degree and flexibility in how they structure their time.Humanities I is your first year of study in the liberal arts, where you explore human culture, language, history, and society through subjects like English, history, drama, and linguistics. You take a range of courses across these fields to discover what interests you before specializing in a particular discipline in later years. This suits students who are curious about how people think, communicate, and organize themselves, but aren't yet certain which humanities subject to focus on.
