Master of Science - Environmental and Life Sciences (Thesis-Based) (MS.ENLS)

Students can become a catalyst for change in what is often called “the Age of the Environment.” Pose the critical questions about the issues of time, and study alongside experts to find the answers. Explore environmental issues that will shape future: the conservation of biodiversity, the spread of contaminants and infectious diseases, the matters of sustainability and water quality.

At Trent University, as part of the prestigious M.Sc., students will generate knowledge and contribute to the future. Inspired by top-notch professors from diverse disciplines, as well as scientists from governmental and non-governmental organizations, they will help forge new approaches to key environmental challenges.

Program Highlights:

• Take part in leading research in cell biology and genetics, ecology and conservation biology, physical geography, trace contaminant toxicology and chemistry, and much more. • Study in world-class research centres and institutes, built on superior funding and state-of-the-art research equipment that support students in their investigation. • Conduct research alongside Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry scientists who serve as adjunct professors in Trent University’s Environmental & Life Sciences graduate program • Prepare for advanced academic training and for employment with governments, NGOs, or private industry. • Benefit from strong funding, scholarship opportunities and teaching assistantships.
