What it is	You study the laws and behaviour of matter and energy — how objects move, how forces work, light, electricity, magnetism, and atoms. Physics is more mathematics-heavy and theory-focused than general science; you'll work through abstract concepts and proofs rather than sampling multiple disciplines. It suits students who enjoy problem-solving, have strong math skills, and want to understand how the physical world fundamentally works.	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.	You study how to design, build, and maintain infrastructure like roads, bridges, water systems, and buildings. Civil engineering differs from architecture because you focus on the structural and technical side — materials, safety, and how things work — rather than aesthetics and design. This program includes a co-op work term, so you'll get hands-on experience at engineering firms or construction sites alongside your classroom learning. It suits people who enjoy math and physics, like solving practical problems, and want to build things that serve communities.	You study how cities and regions develop, grow, and change, combining geography, planning, politics, and social policy to understand urban and rural environments. This program emphasizes the interconnected nature of these topics rather than treating them as separate disciplines. Co-op work terms are available, letting you gain practical experience in planning offices, government agencies, or development organizations alongside your coursework.
