What it is	This program combines biology, psychology, and neuroscience to study how the brain works, how we think and learn, and why we behave the way we do. You'll take courses in human anatomy, brain chemistry, and psychological science rather than focusing on just one discipline. It suits students curious about the science behind human behaviour and cognition who want a broad foundation before specializing in graduate study or careers in neuroscience, psychology, or health research.	Neuroscience at Brock combines biology, chemistry, and psychology to study how the brain and nervous system work at every level, from molecules to behaviour. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at research labs, hospitals, or related organizations, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits students drawn to understanding how the mind functions, who want hands-on research or clinical experience, and who value learning in real workplace settings.	Life Sciences is a broad study of living organisms, their cells, genetics, and chemistry at the molecular level. You'll take core courses in biology, chemistry, and biochemistry, then choose a focus like microbiology, biotechnology, or human biology depending on your interests. The co-op option lets you alternate between school and paid work terms in research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, giving you real experience alongside your degree.
