Trent University offers students the opportunity to study in more than 100 programs across two campuses. The Peterborough campus features award-winning architecture and innovative and academically-rigorous programs housed on 1,400 acres in a breathtaking natural setting on the banks of the Otonabee River, and just 90 minutes from Toronto’s downtown. A second campus, Trent Durham Greater Toronto Area, is located in Oshawa, just 40 minutes from downtown Toronto, and offers career-ready academic programs and experiences. A new residence and academic building opened at this growing campus in Fall 2020. Come to Ontario’s top undergraduate university – and challenge the way you think.
