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 cours de français niveau U/M 12ième année (FRA 4U, FIF 4U) 1 cours de fonctions avancées niveau U 12ième année (MHF 4U) 2 cours de science niveau U 12ième année ou 1 science + 1 math 2 autres cours niveau U/M 12ième année (chimie et calcul sont conseillés) Moyenne globale minimale de 70 % des meilleurs 6 cours du niveau U/M 12ième année +4 more on the program page	ENG4U or FRA4U MCV4U MHF4U 2 of SBI4U, SCH4U, SPH4U, SES4U A minimum combined average of 70% is required for all prerequisite courses in science and mathematics. +1 more on the program page	English at 60% Biology at 70% Prerequisite courses are calculated in the admission average.

What it is	This program lets you study pure science in one of four areas: biology, chemistry, physics, or a mix of these subjects. You'll take foundational courses in your chosen field and build toward specialized upper-year courses. It suits students who want a strong grounding in how the natural world works, whether they're planning to go further in science or use that knowledge in other directions.	Biochimie is the study of chemical processes inside living cells and organisms, combining chemistry and biology at the molecular level. You'll learn how proteins, enzymes, and other molecules work together to keep cells alive. This program includes a co-op work placement, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid jobs in labs or biotech companies, and it's taught in French.	You study chemistry and biochemistry alongside music performance or theory over five years, earning two degrees at once. Unlike a single major, you commit equal time to both fields, which means rigorous lab work and science courses paired with music ensemble, applied lessons, or composition. This suits students who have genuine strength and passion in both science and the arts, and want to pursue careers that might combine them or keep both paths open.	You study the structure and function of living organisms, from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. The BA and BSc differ mainly in depth: the BSc requires more chemistry and physics alongside biology, preparing you for research or graduate study, while the BA offers more flexibility to combine biology with other subjects. The co-op option lets you work in labs, hospitals, or biotech companies between study terms. This program suits students curious about how life works who want hands-on experience before deciding on a career direction.
