What it isThis program teaches you the science behind how the human body works, how diseases develop, and how medicines treat them. You study human biology, pharmacology, and related medical sciences rather than practising medicine itself. The co-op version includes mandatory work terms at healthcare or research organizations alongside your coursework, letting you test whether this field suits you before committing to further training.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.Medical Sciences is a four-year undergraduate program where you study human biology, chemistry, and related sciences to prepare for health professions or medical research. Unlike a general science degree, it focuses specifically on the foundational knowledge needed for medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, or graduate health programs. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain hands-on experience in labs, hospitals, or health settings alongside your coursework. It suits students drawn to understanding how the human body works and considering careers in health care or biomedical fields.
