Where the World Learns Together
Live your education
Born out of years of planning by public-spirited citizens of Peterborough, Trent University opened its doors in 1964. The uncommonly beautiful setting that was originally donated to the University by GE Canada has become home to four unique residential colleges that provide beneficial living-learning communities and interaction between students and faculty. It is this focused, intimate environment that provides students with an opportunity to engage with faculty and peers in an interdisciplinary, research-driven, student-centered environment.
Supporting academic excellence
A small university with an outstanding record for academic excellence in research and teaching, Trent provides international students with personalized support, flexible and innovative program options, dedicated academic advising, and a commitment to supporting the development of student leaders. Trent’s Global Citizen Scholarship Program, the most generous program of its kind for international students in Canada, attracts high-achieving scholars from around the world.
Innovative programs and partnerships
The Trent University education reaches beyond the classroom through innovative study options, such as our new sustainable agriculture and food systems, archaeology, media studies, and journalism programs and an integrated Bachelor of Arts and Science degree. Research centers like the Centre for the Critical Study of Global Power and Politics and the new Natural Resources DNA Profiling and Forensic Centre build on meaningful relationships with community partners in hands-on learning opportunities with global impact.
Sustainable environmental initiatives, a vibrant international community, and the pursuit of student research in an intimate learning environment with personalized support are all hallmarks of the Trent University experience
Alongside the Otonabee River and surrounded by forests and trails, Trent University’s Symons campus is located in the city of Peterborough, Ontario, in Canada’s beautiful Kawartha Lakes District.
