What it isPsychology at Brock is a broad study of how people think, feel, and behave. You'll learn about the brain, emotions, learning, relationships, and mental health through lectures, labs, and research. This program includes a co-op option, letting you work in clinical settings, schools, or research labs while you study, which gives you real-world experience alongside your degree.This program teaches you how the human body moves and functions during exercise, sport, and daily activity, combining anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. Unlike a general health science degree, kinesiology focuses specifically on physical movement and performance. The co-op option lets you work for employers in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings while completing your degree, suiting students who want practical experience alongside classroom learning.Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles.
