Faculty in the Department of Geography supervise graduate students through Trent University's interdisciplinary MA, MSc and PhD programs. Physical Geography graduates can enter the MSc program in Applications in Modelling in the Natural and Social Sciences (AMOD) or the Environmental and Life Sciences MSc and PhD programs (ENLS), while Human Geography graduates can enter the MA programs in Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies (CSID) and Sustainability Studies (SUST), or the PhD program in Canadian Studies (CAST). Geography faculty are actively involved in these programs, teaching graduate courses and offering graduate research opportunities.

General information relating to Graduate Studies at Trent can be found on the Graduate Studies homepage.
