Sustainability Studies master

Sustainability is in Trent’s DNA. As the leading institution for sustainability studies in Canada, Trent provides graduate students with advanced opportunities to drive your career forward. 

The M.A. in Sustainability Studies features a customized individual study plan for each student, consisting of a balance of core and elective courses. Create your own Master’s degree with either a strong academic focus (thesis), or a more applied approach (major research paper), or choose a path where you will secure hands-on work experience with an internship field placement by enrolling in our one-of-a-kind Internship stream or our Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management stream. 

Graduates will find career opportunities and success in a number of realms, from academia to industry, to government and the non-profit sector. Have a direct impact on future policies and practices within your chosen field, or consider pursuing further studies at the doctoral level. Guided by complementary course instruction in research methods, professional development, leadership and entrepreneurship, you’ll acquire the tools and expertise necessary to address complex social and environmental challenges in practical ways.
