“The Maclean’s results demonstrate that as more students are choosing Trent University, we remain a leader in providing the supports students need to succeed,” said Dr. Cathy Bruce, Trent University president and vice-chancellor. “For more than a decade, we've expanded our programs, research and career opportunities for students while preserving the personalized, supportive learning environment that defines the Trent experience.”

With the rankings different this year, a new size-based classification system was introduced.

Trent is ranked among Canada's mid-sized universities, becoming one of only two institutions to move from the group previously categorized as Primarily Undergraduate (now called ‘small’) into the new Mid-Sized category.

Trent also received the following rankings: 

  • #2 in Ontario and #3 in Canada for Student Services 

  • #2 in Ontario for Medical/Science Grants

  • #3 in Ontario for Faculty Awards

“We continue to invest in scholarships, supports and campus communities that help students thrive from the moment they arrive on campus and through the legacies they create,” said Bruce.
