Postgraduate Certificates

Further Your Education. Advance Your Career with Additional Undergraduate Studies

In addition to the many degree options for undergraduates, Trent University offers professional postgraduate certificates designed for students that have already completed an undergraduate degree in another discipline and would like to supplement it with a business specialization.

Trent's postgraduate certificate programs are available at both our Peterborough and Durham campuses.  Enroll full- or part-time, and complete either program in as little as two semesters.

Please note that these certificates are undergraduate studies.
