Explore Niagara Brock is located in the heart of Niagara, one of Canada’s most diverse regions, with a unique mix of world-famous attractions, natural beauty and amazing history. It is no wonder Niagara’s tourism industry is booming — with millions of visitors each year.

Trailblazers in experiential learning Experience matters! Brock was the first university in Canada to formally recognize the importance of students exploring their interests — both in and out of the classroom. We actively create opportunities for our students and were innovators in creating the first co-curricular transcript to recognize their accomplishments. This allows you to connect classroom learning with practical experience and graduate with the competencies required to begin your career.
Helping students succeed We commit millions of dollars annually to help students succeed at Brock. Every qualified student deserves an amazing education, and we want to invest in you. Brock offers one of the most extensive recognition programs in Ontario.

Proof may be waived if you have completed a minimum of three years of full-time study with satisfactory academic standing in an English-language school system (where the primary language of instruction and evaluation was English). You must have acceptable grades in English and other humanities and social science courses from your senior secondary school year. In addition to one of these, you must also complete ENG4U (or equivalent) if it is required for your program. Brock University reserves the right to request more information regarding English proficiency test score results.
