What you studyComputer ScienceMathematics
What it isYou study the science of matter, energy, forces, and motion — how things work at every scale, from tiny atoms to galaxies. Physics at Trent gives you a grounding in theory through lectures and labs, preparing you for further study or work in fields like engineering, environmental science, or research. It suits people who are curious about how the natural world operates and comfortable with mathematics.You study computer science and mathematics together, learning to solve problems by combining coding skills with advanced mathematical theory. Unlike a regular computer science program, you're required to complete paid work terms with employers throughout your degree, giving you real professional experience alongside your studies. This suits students who want technical depth, enjoy both abstract math and practical programming, and prefer to earn money and build their resume while studying.
