Thank you for your interest in our graduate programs! The application deadline for Fall 2023 has passed. Information about our next admission cycle will be available within the coming months. In the meantime, please find information about our admission process below. 

 
The School of Kinesiology and Health Studies (SKHS) admits applicants on a one-to-one basis with faculty supervisors. To be admitted into our program, you must be accepted by a faculty member who agrees to be your supervisor. As such, you are required to identify a potential supervisor prior to applying.
 
Step 1: Make initial contact with a potential supervisor BEFORE you submit your application. 
  • Make initial contact with a faculty member/potential graduate supervisor  in your area of interest
  • Determine whether that faculty member is accepting students for the upcoming year
  • Describe what you would like to study at the graduate level to make sure this supervisor will be a “good fit”
  • Faculty members make one-to-one decisions on which students to admit and supervise
Step 2: Start your online application.
The School of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (SGSPA) administers the application for our program. 

Step 3: Submit required additional documents to SKHS Graduate Administrator at skhs.grad@queensu.ca

In addition to your documents submitted through the SGSPA online application, our graduate programs require the submission of three additional documents: 

  1. Current CV
  2. Writing Sample: this should be a piece of your original work (i.e., a lab report, assignment, mini-thesis chapter, etc.) that demonstrates your preparedness for graduate-level studies. There is no page recommendation or requirement. 
  3. Statement of Interest OR Research Proposal: describe your research interests or present your research proposals. Maximum 2 pages, double-spaced.

These documents must be submitted to SKHS Graduate Administrator, Clara Langley, at skhs.grad@queensu.ca. Please attach the files in MS Word or PDF format. 

Please note: your application will be considered incomplete until these documents are provided.
