All applications for graduate study at Queen's University must be submitted online. 

If you are applying for admission to the doctoral program, you must outline in detail what your thesis area is, and with whom you hope to work.  Doctoral applicants are encouraged to make informal contact (e.g. e-mail) with potential supervisors about their research interests before applying to the program.  Applications that do not specify an area of doctoral research which we are capable of supervising will not be considered. 

Applicants for the MA program should briefly outline their main research interests. 

Applications to the MA and PhD programs should also include official transcripts, a writing sample (recent essay), and a minimum of two letters of reference.
