Prerequisitesas published	ENG4U Alternative Offers You will receive an offer of admission to only 1 program. 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.

What it is	You study how people communicate through media — TV, film, social media, journalism, advertising, and public relations. The program combines theory about how media shapes society with practical skills in creating and analyzing media content. It suits people interested in understanding media's role in the world and developing hands-on abilities in broadcasting, digital production, or communications work.	Cognitive science is the study of how the mind works — combining psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science to understand thinking, language, and behaviour. This program lets you choose a co-op option, placing you in paid work terms with employers in neuroscience, tech, or research fields alongside your courses. It suits people curious about both how brains function and how that knowledge applies in real jobs.	This is a first-year program that lets you explore different subject areas across disciplines before committing to a specific degree. You take courses in multiple fields — humanities, social sciences, sciences — to discover what interests you most, then choose your major after first year. It suits students who are unsure what to study or want to keep options open before deciding on a full program.
