If you're a high achiever in your third year, Trent also offers four Accelerated Master’s Programs, which allow Trent undergrads in select programs to work towards advanced standing in their Master’s degree programs with the potential to complete in 12 - 20 months. Please consult individual programs for specific information.

Your first step is identifying a research focus and building connections with potential supervisors. Once you’ve determined what direction you want to head in, you can ask for more information on how to apply for an Accelerated Master’s program in the third year of your undergraduate honours degree.
