  • 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 isYou study how to design, build, and maintain software systems and applications, from the coding and logic to the architecture that makes programs run. This program includes hands-on projects in artificial intelligence and computer engineering alongside core software development. The co-op placement is required, meaning you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at companies, giving you real workplace experience before you graduate.This program teaches you how to manage engineering projects and operations by combining business decision-making with technical knowledge of systems, data analysis, and software. Unlike a straight engineering degree, it focuses equally on the management and optimization side of engineering work, drawing from fields like operations research and artificial intelligence. It suits students who are strong in math and science but interested in leadership roles, problem-solving with data, and working on real problems through mandatory paid work terms.You study business management and related fields like accounting, human resources, or entrepreneurship while alternating between classroom terms and paid work terms with employers. This co-op structure means you graduate with real workplace experience alongside your degree. The dual degree option lets you complete part of your studies at a partner institution abroad, typically NEOMA Business School in France, combining international education with Canadian credentials. This suits students who want hands-on business experience, practical skills, and potentially a global perspective before entering the workforce.You study business fundamentals — how organizations work, manage money, make decisions — with a focus on global markets and cross-border trade. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at real companies, giving you practical experience alongside theory. This suits people who want hands-on learning and international exposure while building a professional network before graduation.
