Master of Science (M.Sc.)

Develop advanced computer science skills through original research, specialized coursework and practical applications in a collaborative, small-cohort environment. In Trent’s Computer Science M.Sc. program, you will work closely with faculty experts to pursue a research question while exploring advanced topics including intelligent systems, natural language processing, software testing, database systems, and algorithms, including the use of large language models like GPT and BERT.

Explore how chemistry and physics shape the properties and applications of materials through graduate research spanning nanotechnology, electronic materials, surface science, biomaterials, and materials characterization. Offered jointly by Trent University and Ontario Tech University, this program combines fundamental science principles with an independent research project, equipping you with the expertise and professional skills to pursue careers in research and development or future doctoral study.

Put scientific theory into ecological practice as you undertake and lead research addressing current challenges in key sectors, including biodiversity conservation, contaminant spread and infectious diseases, sustainability, and water quality. In this collaborative, interdisciplinary program, you will work alongside expert faculty across the sciences at Trent as well as affiliated government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

Monitor, protect, and preserve our natural world through specialized training in bioenvironmental monitoring and assessment at Trent. Choose the pathway aligned with your interests through research or professional study options. Apply critical thinking to pressing environmental questions while learning and applying the latest techniques in environmental monitoring and data analysis. You will also build specialized expertise and professional experience for careers in government, environmental consulting, and conservation.

Explore psychology and neuroscience through a research-intensive master’s program with three distinct fields of study. Apply research techniques suited to your interests with guidance from experienced faculty in quantitative and qualitative methods, while gaining hands-on experience through thesis research and experiential learning. Develop the knowledge, skills and training to pursue careers in academia, government, non-profit and industry settings or further doctoral studies.

Learn at one of Canada’s top research universities in a hands-on, collaborative environment where you gain specialized skills in data analysis, statistical modelling, and computational techniques. Whether your interests lie in research, data-driven discovery, or the financial sector, you can shape your graduate experience around your goals with four specialized program options. Gain practical experience by applying modelling techniques to real-world problems, preparing you for high-impact careers in science, business, finance, and technology.

Be a part of cutting-edge anthropological research and learn to challenge ideas and methods for understanding past and present human societies. Trent’s research-based Anthropology master’s programs combine critical thinking, experiential learning, and strong foundations in theory and research design. Work closely with globally recognized faculty to develop a thesis exploring specialized areas including archaeology, underwater archaeology, zooarchaeology, medical anthropology, bioarchaeology, and linguistic ethnography.
