  • 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 protect computer networks and systems from cyberattacks and security threats. The program combines practical networking skills with specialized knowledge in security protocols, encryption, and threat detection. It suits students who want technical IT work focused specifically on defending data and infrastructure rather than general software development or systems administration.You study how to create video games from start to finish, learning programming, visual design, animation, sound, and storytelling. Unlike a pure computer science degree, this program balances technical skills with creative and business thinking, so you learn game engines, art, and how to actually launch a game. It suits people who want hands-on work making games rather than working only on backend code or studying game theory in isolation.This program teaches you to extract useful information from large datasets using mathematics, programming, and statistics. You'll study how to build and use artificial intelligence models, manage data systems, and apply these skills to real business and financial problems. The co-op component means you'll work in relevant jobs during your studies, alternating with classroom learning. It suits people who enjoy both math and problem-solving and want practical experience applying these skills before graduation.
