Brock University looks to the future, offering a dynamic learning environment. In recent years, the school has expanded its research and increased graduate offerings. World-class infrastructure includes the Cairns’ Family Health and Bioscience Research Complex and the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts. Almost 600 faculty teach more than 120 undergraduate and graduate programs across seven faculties in a culture that promotes experiential learning and community outreach.

The school draws international students from 100 countries. Brock’s huge co-op program places 2,000 to 2,500 students annually with more than 300 industry partners in the Niagara region and beyond, and enjoys a 94 per cent work-term placement rate. “Brock is known across the country for its student experience, highlighted by our academic quality, experiential education opportunities, outstanding student supports and our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion,” says interim president Lynn Wells.

The school is located in a UNESCO biosphere reserve in the scenic Niagara region. The Zone, the school’s fitness and recreation centre, reopened last year after a massive expansion that tripled its size. The new 308-bed Residence 8, which opened earlier this year, features single rooms and community lounges on each floor. Meanwhile, expansion is underway on a facility to house the new Brock-Niagara Validation, Prototyping and Manufacturing Institute, a collaborative hub connecting Brock with industry partners.
