What it is	Physics is the study of how matter, energy, and forces work at every scale, from atoms to galaxies. At Ontario Tech, you can do the standard Bachelor of Science in Physics, or combine it with a Business and Management degree if you want to develop skills in both areas. The program includes co-op work terms, letting you apply physics in real jobs alongside your studies. It suits people who want a strong grounding in physics theory and problem-solving, whether or not they're considering business or management later on.	Physics is the study of how matter and energy behave — from tiny atoms to huge stars. At Brock, you'll combine classroom learning with paid work terms in labs, companies, or research facilities, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree. This program suits students who want hands-on skills and industry connections before graduating.	Industrial engineering teaches you how to design and improve systems that make things or deliver services — factories, hospitals, supply chains. Unlike civil engineering, which focuses on building infrastructure, or materials science, which studies what things are made of, industrial engineering optimizes how people, machines, and processes work together. The program includes a co-op component, so you'll do paid work terms at companies alongside your studies. It suits people who like math and science, enjoy solving practical problems, and want hands-on experience before graduating.
