A Queen's University Chemistry degree carries significant prestige and serves as a valuable asset in today's competitive STEM employment landscape. Our newly constructed $56 million advanced facility houses cutting-edge resources including an eight-instrument Nuclear Magnetic Resonance suite, an on-site Mass Spectrometry lab with four spectrometers, an X-ray diffractometer, and a CFI-funded materials analysis center, plus specialized equipment across faculty laboratories. Students engage in pioneering, industry-applicable research across all chemistry disciplines - analytical, inorganic, organic, physical, polymer, and theoretical - while participating in cross-disciplinary projects ranging from environmental studies to pharmaceutical modeling and advanced spectroscopy. The Chemistry Innovation Council, comprising industry and government experts, provides career guidance and facilitates professional networking. Students regularly work alongside researchers from Environmental Studies, Engineering, Physics, and other departments. International research opportunities may be arranged individually, and qualified students can pursue a combined MSc degree with Germany's University of Stuttgart.
4-year honours Bachelor degree (or equivalent) in chemistry or a related science e.g. biochemistry, chemical physics, materials science or chemical engineering with a minimum second class standing (B+, 75-79%, 3.3 GPA). Previous research and teaching potential, as evidenced by publications, conference presentations and/or undergraduate teaching experience will also be taken into consideration.
