In this age of globalization and innovation, the ability to acquire, develop, and motivate talented people has become the number one challenge for most organizations.

A broad multi-disciplinary area of science, Materials Science seeks to advance the understanding, prediction, and application of the properties of matter. Through this program, offered jointly by Trent University and Ontario Tech University, students build on and incorporate fundamental science principles into their graduate level research project. Develop skills in project management and effective communication of technical information as you prepare for future-ready success in today’s modern environment of research and development in both the public and private sectors.

Ask the critical questions, create knowledge and work alongside globally recognized experts to address crucial environmental issues that will impact the future. Explore, research and enact change in key sectors, including the conservation of biodiversity, the spread of contaminants and infectious diseases, sustainability, and water quality. Take advantage of world-class research facilities, including the Trent Water Quality Centre, the Institute for Watershed Science, and the Natural Resources DNA Profiling & Forensic Centre.

Trent’s Cultural Studies graduate programs emphasize research and research creation. Students immerse themselves in a thriving local arts community as they pursue discussions surrounding culture and technology, environmental communication, gender and the body, science as knowledge, discourse, and narrative, social and political theory, and media theory. 

Sustainability is in Trent’s DNA. As the leading institution for sustainability studies in Canada, Trent provides graduate students with advanced opportunities to drive your career forward. 

The M.A. in Sustainability Studies features a customized individual study plan for each student, consisting of a balance of core and elective courses. Create your own Master’s degree with either a strong academic focus (thesis), or a more applied approach (major research paper), or choose our co-op path where you will secure hands-on work experience with a paid co-op placement. 

Explore educational theory and research to gain the critical insights needed for transformative practice. Major themes of the program include: ecological and social justice, leadership and educational administration, critical literacies, Indigenous knowledge, and curriculum inquiry.

Become a professional researcher and analyst under the supervision of groundbreaking historians and authors in a diverse range of topics, including political history and foreign relations, gender history, environmental history, the history of sports, food history, the history of childhood, war and memory, dictatorship, and the history of medicine. Choose between a major research paper or a thesis, and structure your studies over one year or two.

What does it mean to go public? To publish? More than reading texts, students in Trent’s Public Texts M.A. program develop new ways of examining how texts are produced and circulated. Here you can explore the ongoing relationship between texts and the public.

Students also discover the history of texts, study the future of published works and discuss relevant issues that are key to modern literary research. Collaboration with faculty, visiting scholars and experts is front and centre in this innovative program that combines theory and practice.
