Prerequisitesas published	ENG4U Alternative Offers You will receive an offer of admission to only 1 program. Your highest listed choice is considered first when you indicate more than 1 Brock program on your application. If you are not eligible for your first choice, your subsequent choices will be considered in your indicated order of preference. In most cases: If you apply to only 1 Brock program but do not qualify, you will be considered for an alternative or related program. If you apply but are not admitted to a co-op program, you will automatically be considered for the regular, non-co-op program.	1 grade 12 English U/M course (ENG 4U) 1 grade 12 4U Advanced Functions (MHF 4U) 2 grade 12 U Science courses or 1 Science + 1 Math 2 other grade 12 U/M courses (Chemistry and Calculus recommended) A minimum overall average of 70% in the 6 best grade 12 U/M courses +4 more on the program page	English at 60% Chemistry at 70% Math at 60% Advanced Functions at 60% Biology at 60% +1 more on the program page

What you study	Law & Criminology	ChemistryPharmacology, Toxicology & Pharmacy	BiotechnologyChemistry
What it is	Critical Criminology examines why crimes happen and how criminal justice systems work, focusing on how power, inequality, and social structures shape both crime and punishment. Unlike traditional criminology, which mainly studies criminal behaviour itself, this program questions whether laws and enforcement are fair and who benefits from the current system. It suits students interested in understanding crime as a social problem rather than just studying offenders.	You study how chemicals work in medicine and the body, focusing on drug design, how drugs break down, and their effects on human health. This combines chemistry and pharmacology more directly than a general science degree, giving you hands-on lab work alongside theory. It suits students who want to understand the science behind medications and are comfortable with chemistry and math at an advanced level.	You study how living cells work at the molecular level and how to use that knowledge to develop new medicines, materials, and industrial processes. This program combines pure chemistry with applied biotechnology, so you spend time both in theory and on practical applications that companies actually use. It includes a required co-op work term, giving you real workplace experience alongside your coursework. This suits students who want hands-on lab work and are curious about bridging basic science with real-world problem-solving.
