At Trent, you will never be limited by the boundaries of

your discipline. After all, new understanding comes at the

intersection of areas of study, when you make connections

you never thought were possible.

Trent’s approach, envied by other graduate schools, is

reflective of the real world. Here, there’s always an array of

perspectives at play. We believe that bringing leading-edge

researchers together, often from across the humanities, sciences

and social sciences, is what allows us to answer and challenge

some of society’s most complex questions.

REAL-WORLD RESEARCHChoosing to learn from world-renowned researchers doesn’t mean you will be standing by. Quite the opposite, in fact. At

Trent, you are at the centre of your educational experience, and most of our programs are research intensive.

Our graduate students can be found around the world conducting hands-on research and contributing to the creation

of new knowledge. Consider an anthropological dig in Central America, trips to Indigenous communities across North

America, or monitoring polar bears in the Arctic.
