Reading courses involve independent research and are based on a clear conception of a minor research project negotiated with a faculty supervisor and conducted by the student. To learn more about completing a reading course as part of your degree, please reach out to the Trent School of the Environment faculty member that you are interested in working with to begin discussing your research topic. Please note that written permission from the supervising faculty member or instructor and the TSE Director are required prior to registering for a reading course. The TSE offers the following reading courses:
