What it is	You study the science of matter, energy, forces, and motion — how things work at every scale, from tiny atoms to galaxies. Physics at Trent gives you a grounding in theory through lectures and labs, preparing you for further study or work in fields like engineering, environmental science, or research. It suits people who are curious about how the natural world operates and comfortable with mathematics.	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.	Industrial engineering teaches you how to design and improve systems that make things or deliver services — factories, hospitals, supply chains. Unlike civil engineering, which focuses on building infrastructure, or materials science, which studies what things are made of, industrial engineering optimizes how people, machines, and processes work together. The program includes a co-op component, so you'll do paid work terms at companies alongside your studies. It suits people who like math and science, enjoy solving practical problems, and want hands-on experience before graduating.

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
