Learn more about studying Cultural Studies: Literature & Narrative as an international student.
What Trent University says about their program:
Trent’s Cultural Studies program is the only one of its kind in Canada, and by specializing in Literature and Narrative, you will study culture by reading, talking, and doing – asking (and seeking to answer) how culture shapes our lives, and vice versa.
How do we tell our stories? As a Cultural Studies major completing the Literature and Narrative specialization, you’ll take your studies beyond the book to look at how storytelling changes when told through theatre, oral narrative, television, and film, and how history, geography, and genre influence storytelling.
All students are required to have the following for admission to all programs:
