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.

What you study	Computer Games Design General or Integrated Engineering Information Systems	Business Studies Media and Communication Studies
What it is	Industrial design is the practice of creating products and objects that people use every day — from furniture and tools to consumer electronics — by combining aesthetics, function, and how they're actually made. You'll learn to sketch, model, and prototype while understanding materials, manufacturing, and user needs. This program suits people who enjoy solving practical problems visually and want to bridge the gap between art and engineering.	You study how organizations communicate with audiences through writing, media, and strategic messaging, blending business fundamentals with communication theory and practice. This program includes mandatory work terms alongside your classes, so you alternate between campus and paid jobs in communications roles. It suits people who want to work in corporate communications, marketing, public relations, or media while gaining real workplace experience.
