| What it is | This is a one-year bridge program that strengthens your English and engineering fundamentals before you enter a full engineering degree. It's designed for international students whose high school preparation doesn't quite meet direct entry to engineering, letting you build academic English skills and core science knowledge alongside introductory engineering courses. It suits students who are solid in math and science but need more time to adjust to university-level study in English. | You study how to design systems and structures that protect the environment and manage natural resources — combining biology, chemistry, civil engineering, and earth science. Unlike a general engineering program, this one focuses specifically on water treatment, waste management, air quality, and land remediation. It suits students who want to solve real environmental problems with engineering tools and are willing to do mandatory work terms alongside their studies. | 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. |
