Tip for Indian students: Peterborough rents typically run C$1,000 to C$1,300 (INR 66,600 to INR 86,580) monthly, well below Toronto’s C$2,500 (INR 1.67 Lakhs). A Trent Bachelor of Science student saving on rent can offset roughly one-quarter of the annual international tuition gap.

Trent University Bachelor of Science Admission 2027

Trent University runs a rolling admission cycle for international Bachelor of Science applicants across Fall, Winter and Summer intakes. Indian students must submit Standard XII marks with English plus subject prerequisites and, unless CBSE-exempted, an English proficiency score.

Intake and Application Windows

Fall (September) is the primary intake, with Winter (January) and Summer (May) accepting only a limited slice of undergraduate programmes. Applicants should verify subject-specific availability before locking an intake.

• Fall 2027 applications open on 16 September 2026 with a 15 June 2027 international deadline.
• Winter 2027 applications close on 01 November 2026 and are open for on-time submission.
• Summer 2027 applications open on 16 September 2026 with a 01 February 2027 deadline for limited course offerings.

Academic Eligibility for Indian Applicants

The minimum bar is a 70% average in Standard XII across the four best academic subjects including English. Bachelor of Science majors carry subject prerequisites that Indian applicants must meet from their Class XII stream.

• WES (World Education Services) sets the official Canadian-scale equivalence; the 70% shown is Trent’s Indian-percentage benchmark.
• Trent holds a QS 2026 band of #1501+ and a US News Best Global Universities 2026 rank of #2036.
• Compare the university’s global standing via the Trent University ranking profile.

English Language Proficiency for International Applicants

Indian applicants outside CBSE English-medium must submit an English proficiency test taken within two years of intake. Trent accepts every major test with per-band minimums, not just an overall score.

Note: TOEFL iBT moved to a 1.0 to 6.0 band scale on 21 January 2026. Trent University currently lists both the 0 to 120 and the 1.0 to 6.0 requirements above; both scales are reported during the 2026 to 2028 transition. Verify the current requirement on the official admissions page before applying.

• CBSE English-medium graduates skip the English test, saving Indian applicants roughly INR 15,000 to INR 20,000 in test fees.
• ELP scores must reach Trent by 01 November, 01 March or 01 July for January, May or September entry respectively.
• Non-CBSE applicants should book IELTS at least three months before the offer deadline to avoid last-mile visa delays.

Tip for Indian students: A 6.0 overall IELTS with a 5.5 sub-band triggers a conditional offer at Trent, not an outright admit. Aim for 7.0 overall to keep the offer clean and unlock a smoother study permit review.

Trent University Bachelor of Science Application 2027

Indian applicants apply through OUAC (Ontario Universities’ Application Centre) 105 or Trent’s International Direct Application. OUAC is a centralised gateway to every Ontario university; the direct route suits applicants listing Trent alone. The application fee is C$92 (INR 6,127).

Upcoming Application Deadlines

The next open cycle is Winter 2027 for a limited undergraduate slate; Fall 2027 is the primary Bachelor of Science intake. Deadlines below are the international-applicant dates, forward-looking from July 2026.

• Register early and add @trentu.ca to safe senders so the admission decision email does not land in spam.
• Submit transcripts, English scores and research statements through the myTrent applicant portal after paying the C$92 (INR 6,127) fee.
• A C$500 (INR 33,300) deposit within 30 days of the offer holds the seat and unlocks the study permit letter.
• Start the Canada study permit application the day the offer lands; IRCC processing runs 8 to 12 weeks (see the Canada study abroad guide).

Application tip: Trent’s rolling review means an early January application for Fall entry usually returns a decision within four to six weeks. That gap gives Indian applicants time to line up finances, the provincial attestation letter and study permit before June deadlines close.

• Proof of funds runs C$22,895 (INR 15.25 Lakhs) yearly plus first-year tuition and return airfare, per IRCC rules from September 2025.
• A PAL (Provincial Attestation Letter) from Ontario is now mandatory for undergraduate study permit applications.
