What it is	Physics is the study of how matter and energy behave — from tiny atoms to huge stars. At Brock, you'll combine classroom learning with paid work terms in labs, companies, or research facilities, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree. This program suits students who want hands-on skills and industry connections before graduating.	You study mechanical engineering and computer science together over five years, combining courses in machine design, systems, and programming. Unlike separate degrees in each field, you learn how they integrate — for instance, designing machines controlled by software. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms in engineering or tech companies. This suits people drawn to both the physical and computational sides of building things.	You study both music and computer science as a full double degree, earning separate BA and BSc credentials in five years instead of doing them sequentially. This combines technical programming and software skills with music theory, performance, composition, or musicology depending on your choices. It suits people who are genuinely strong in both fields and want depth in each rather than a minor, and who have the stamina for a demanding combined workload.
