- ENG4U with a minimum of 60%

What to watch for
Direct entry at a 70% minimum. Environmental Chemistry (RVC), Chemical Physics (RHY) and Forensic Chemistry (RUH, 75%) are separate codes. Trent publishes a minimum, and its own admissions FAQ says 'meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission'. The safety net is real: if you are not admitted to a competitive programme, Trent automatically assesses you for an alternate offer into a similar one, with no second application.
