Basic information and contact details for Queen’s University

institution

While we stand on a history of unparalleled academic and research achievement, we remain committed to challenging assumptions of the past. We drive forward the boundaries of knowledge through research and learning – all in service to our vision of an inclusive, diverse, and sustainable society.

The Queen’s community seeks to solve the world’s most significant and urgent challenges with intellectual curiosity, passion to achieve, and commitment to collaboration.

Home to more than 25,000 undergraduate and graduate students and over 5,000 faculty and staff, we attract those who are driven by an innate desire to venture out, and to be part of something bigger than themselves.

By offering an exceptional student experience, we invite and cultivate excellence and the capacity for leadership. 

Queen’s is a community for all.

Welcoming and supportive of students and faculty from all countries and backgrounds, we embrace diversity of ideas and perspectives. And once here, our students and researchers enter a national and global network of innovators, advocates, and entrepreneurs who open doors for those who follow.

Our reputation for leading-edge physics, cancer research, geoengineering, data analytics, surveillance studies, social science and mental health research is well documented, highlighted by the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics. Yet beyond our robotics labs, research centres, and innovation hubs exists a dedication to giving students a well-rounded student experience.

State-of-the-art cultural facilities – including the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts and the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, showcase world-class performing arts and collections, including the largest collection of works by Rembrandt in public galleries in Canada.
