  • 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 it isYou study the theory and practice of computing, from writing software and building systems to artificial intelligence and how businesses use technology. The co-op stream requires you to alternate between semesters of coursework and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This suits students who want hands-on industry exposure while learning, or who prefer the traditional full-time study path.You study the design, development, and theory behind computer software and systems. In the co-op stream, you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want to build real-world coding skills early and explore whether they prefer software development, artificial intelligence, games, or other computing specializations while earning money.Health Sciences is a broad study of how the human body works, what causes disease, and how to treat or prevent it using science and technology. You'll learn biology, chemistry, genetics, and specialized areas like medical technology or health informatics depending on your choices. Unlike a program that leads directly to a specific profession like nursing or medicine, this one keeps your options open: you can use it as a foundation for professional health careers, research, or roles in biotechnology and public health.
