| What it is | Computer Science at Brock is a four-year degree where you study programming, algorithms, software design, and computing theory. The co-op option means you alternate between semesters of study and paid work terms at tech companies, giving you real workplace experience alongside your coursework. It suits people who want technical depth and prefer learning through hands-on projects and industry internships. | You study how to design, build, and test software systems — the programs and applications that run on computers and devices. Unlike a pure Computer Science degree, this program focuses on practical engineering: how software is actually built for real-world use, with emphasis on planning, teamwork, and quality. The co-op option means you alternate between study and paid work terms at companies, giving you experience before graduation. This suits people who want hands-on technical skills, prefer learning by doing, and are ready to commit to work placements alongside coursework. | Génie électrique (Electrical Engineering) teaches you how to design, build, and troubleshoot systems that generate, transmit, and use electrical power and signals — from power grids to electronics. This is a four-year engineering program with mandatory co-op placements, meaning you alternate between studying on campus and working in industry, giving you real hands-on experience alongside theory. It suits students who enjoy physics and mathematics, want practical engineering skills, and value learning through workplace projects. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
