The Psychology graduate program (MSc) is a research-intensive program with three distinct fields of study providing a sound preparation for careers in health, science or communications-related fields and a natural stepping stone to pursue further doctoral (PhD) studies, including our brand new PhD program in Psychology.
The Master of Psychology program offers three unique areas of study:
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.
This first and only program of its kind in Canada, Trent's Ph.D. program offers Indigenous and non-Indigenous students the opportunity to engage in advanced learning experiences and thoughtful dialogue grounded in Indigenous peoples, lands and cultures, while reflecting on the interaction between traditional and contemporary Indigenous knowledges within the academic context.
Discover a community of scholarly champions who will encourage you to pursue your unique research interests, develop expertise in research-intensive areas and participate in critical conversations connected to Canada in a collaborative and vibrant learning atmosphere. This program prepares graduates to become thought leaders in Canadian academia, as well as in a variety of governmental, not-for-profit and private sector roles.
Fuel your curiousity and passion as you prepare for professional and academic career paths. In this program, students lead research projects that span the humanities, social sciences and other interdisciplinary fields, as they produce either a major research paper or thesis. This Master’s degree prepares you for a vibrant future in academia, as well as careers in education, social services or not-for-profit and advocacy sectors.
