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.Global Health is a science degree that combines the study of health systems, data analysis, and policy with real-world development work across different countries. You learn how health issues connect to poverty, education, and government decisions, and you use technology to solve health problems in low-resource settings. Co-op work terms let you gain international experience while studying, making this a good fit if you want to work on health challenges beyond Canada.You study the causes, effects, and solutions to conflict at local, national, and global scales, drawing on geography, politics, development, and social policy. This program emphasizes understanding conflict through multiple disciplines rather than focusing narrowly on one field. It suits students interested in humanitarian work, policy analysis, diplomacy, or activism who want a broad foundation in how societies experience and resolve disputes.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.
