Smith Engineering students come from – and work – all around the globe. We believe that engineering is for everyone, and champion diversity and inclusion in everything we do. Students joining us for their engineering studies not only get a top-tier education, but become part of an international engineering community for the rest of their lives.
The QSuccess Engineering International Student Mentorship Program supports first-year international students in the Faculty of Engineering. The program pairs first-year engineering international students with upper-year engineering students mentors for one-on-one support. The mentors guide their mentees in academic, personal, and cultural transition, helping them gain confidence and necessary skills for a successful first year at Smith Engineering.
The mentor team consists of academically strong and culturally diverse students dedicated to supporting their mentees throughout the summer and their first year.
Visit the Queen’s University International Centre (QUIC) for comprehensive support resources, social activities, and advising services to international students, as well as cultural training resources for all students, staff, and faculty.
They can help with information and advice on your studies at Queen’s, as well as international issues including study permit and visa questions.
International students also benefit from all the services available to domestic students:
If you have questions about international studies at Smith Engineering, please reach out to our International Student Advisor, Julie Hao. She can help with questions about the program in general, academic and cultural transitions, on-campus resources, and supports for students.
