What it is	This pathway lets you study the fundamental sciences — physics, chemistry, astronomy, mathematics, and biology — together rather than committing to a single discipline right away. You'll take core courses across all these fields in your first year, then gradually specialize based on your interests. The included co-op option means you'll do work terms in research labs or industry, giving you hands-on experience alongside your coursework.	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.	Physical & Environmental Sciences is a degree where you study the natural world through disciplines like physics, chemistry, geology, astronomy, and environmental science. You choose which areas to focus on based on your interests. The co-op option lets you alternate study with paid work terms in science-related workplaces, giving you real experience alongside your classes. This program suits students who want to understand how Earth and space work and prefer hands-on learning combined with classroom study.
