Program details
Overview
The Master of Science (MSc) in Geological Sciences at Queen's University is offered through the Department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering, one of the leading earth science departments in Canada. The program consists of four term-length graduate courses combined with an original research thesis, supported by the department's fieldwork opportunities, industry collaborations, and research facilities such as X-ray diffraction and clay mineral, computational geomechanics, and stable isotope and ICP/MS laboratories. Applicants are admitted on the basis of an available faculty supervisor in their area of interest, and prospective students are encouraged to contact individual faculty members before applying to discuss funding and research fit. Graduates pursue careers across industry, government, and academia, including roles such as petroleum technologist, economic geologist, applied geochemist, applied geophysicist, environmental consultant, field geologist, government mapping and environmental regulatory positions, and postdoctoral and teaching positions in academia.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must first identify and secure the agreement of a faculty supervisor in the Department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering, since admission is contingent on a supervisor's availability and funding; prospective students are encouraged to contact potential supervisors directly before applying. Applications are submitted online through the School of Graduate Studies by the March 1st deadline, accompanied by a non-refundable application fee of $120 CAD paid by Visa or Mastercard (a certified cheque or money order is accepted only where electronic payment is unavailable). International applicants should also review the department's International Student Handbook for additional requirements. Full formal admission requirements are set out on the Queen's School of Graduate Studies website.
