Bader International Study Centre, Queen's University

The BISC's internationally themed courses combine with field studies throughout England and Europe, introducing students to both academic excellence and exploration of the world. We provide students with an international perspective, a strong grounding in communication, core degree courses, and a sense of social and global awareness.

Queen's high standard of academic excellence is a hallmark fully shared at the Castle, with additional depth. Your decision to study at the Castle is the choice to make a solid investment in your future — personally, academically, and professionally.

Small class sizes and integrated field studies contribute to world class learning and exploration. The BISC Upper-Year Program emphasizes intercultural learning, offering a flexible choice of Queen's accredited courses — ranging from the Humanities and International Business, to Social Sciences and Nursing.

Open to over 35 of our international and domestic partners, learning is hands-on, diverse, and internationally acclaimed. Students from the finest universities around the world come together to share a truly international experience, in which they live, travel, and study together.

In addition to a broad spectrum of Queen’s accredited upper year courses, the Bader International Study Centre also offers special five to six week field schools in the summer. These intensive programs incorporate unique courses with over 80 hours of hands-on practical learning experience. Upon completion of the field school, students will be awarded a certificate highlighting their achievements. 

The usual course-load per student is five courses per term in the twelve-week Fall and Winter terms, three in the six-week Summer Term, and two during the five-week Field Schools. Most courses last for one term, although some are two-term courses taken over the Fall and Winter. All courses give 3 units per term, are fully accredited by Queen's University, and are normally transferable to other Universities.

Challenging Academic Environment. Integrated Field Studies. Explore regional and global opportunities. Change your world.
