2. Check the minimum requirements

Make sure that you have the minimum academic requirements listed by the graduate program that interests you. Most candidates for admission to a doctoral program possess a Master's Degree. Direct entry to some programs is possible for those with exceptional academic standing.

For a master's program, candidates for admission hold second-class standing in one of the following degrees awarded by a recognized university:

• an Honours Bachelor Degree in Arts or Science
• a Bachelor Degree in Applied Science or Law
• a Degree of Doctor of Medicine
• or equivalent

To check the minimums either go to the individual program pages or the 2013/14 Application Requirements Table (PDF*, 37 KB)

Please note that if you are considering the master's program in Education, refer to the program website for the admission qualifications.

The School of Business administers their MBA program of study and the School of Medicine administers all postgraduate training programs, which are offered by medical departments to Doctors of Medicine.

3. Check on the need for a supervisor

Some programs do not require you to find a potential supervisor before applying. Check with your desired program Graduate Assistant prior to contacting any faculty member.

If your program does require you to find a potential supervisor before you apply, check the program website for a list of faculty by research areas.

5. Living and related costs

Because Kingston is a smaller city, many students find that living expenses are affordable. The amount it costs to attend Queen's will depend somewhat on the choices you make. The Office of the Registrar has provided guidelines for costs you may incur, including tuition & fees, education and basic living expenses. Expenses that you can expect to incur within a 12 month period can be found on the Office of the Registrar

* UHIP

Because UHIP medical insurance is mandatory for all international students, you will be required to purchase a UHIP plan in order to register.

Students who bring families will be required to purchase health coverage for all accompanying dependants. We recommend that you budget an additional $5,000 for your primary dependant and $1,000 for each additional dependant.

You must enrol your dependants within 30 days of their arrival in Canada to avoid a $500 penalty.
