Under the terms of an agreement between Trent University and Queen’s University at Kingston, faculty
of Trent University may undertake the supervision and instruction, at Trent University, of graduate
students enrolled for Master’s or Ph.D. degrees at Queen’s University. The Trent faculty members who
participate in this arrangement must hold appointments as adjunct faculty to the graduate school at
Queen’s University
Students who wish to enroll in the Trent/Queen’s program and pursue graduate study at Trent
University must apply using a two-stage process. At stage one, students complete a Trent University
graduate studies application form (available online) and arrange for that and all supporting
documentation to be forwarded to the School of Graduate Studies at Trent University. Students who
are recommended for admission by Trent proceed to stage two, at which time they are advised to
complete an online Queen’s University application form. All supporting documentation previously
received at Trent is then forwarded to Queen’s University. Students are encouraged to approach and
identify prospective supervisors in the appropriate Departments and Programs at Trent, before making
an application.
