Graduate Studies in Physics at Trent

There are three graduate programs in Physics available at Trent.

• The first of these programs is the Trent-Queen's Graduate Studies Program in which students may register for an M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree in Physics from Queen's University in Kingston while carrying out their research work and part of their course work at Trent.
• The second program leads to a Trent Master's degree in the Applied Modelling and Quantitative Methods (Physics). This program is designed to prepare students for the exciting research being carried out at the interdisciplinary interface, by bringing together graduate students who are applying quantitative modelling techniques in their thesis research in a broad range of disciplines. For Physics students, it will involve research in physics, course work both in physics and in modelling techniques and a fortnightly Modelling research colloquium and a weekly Physics/Chemistry research colloquium. It will permit progression to Ph.D. programs in Physics at other universities. Applications are due Feb. 1. (For further information, refer to the Applied Modelling and Quantitative Methods Brochure. A hardcopy is available in the Physics Department Office.)
