Brock University (reviews)

Choosing Brock University for Kinesiology means committing to a program that is dedicated to professional, experiential learning right from the start, setting it apart from other Ontario institutions. In your very first year, you’re immediately immersed in advanced practical study, notably through supervised access to the McMaster University Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine, Niagara Regional Campus Anatomy Teaching Lab on campus. This privileged access to cadaveric specimens gives you a tangible, deep understanding of human anatomy and biomechanics that simply can’t be replicated through textbooks, providing a critical head start for future clinical work. The program also features competitive and career-defining opportunities that students can apply and earn, such as the experiences gained within the Brock Sports Medicine (BSM) Clinic, where successful applicants work with varsity athletes on real-time injury management and rehabilitation, and the FITLINK Program at the Bfit Centre, which offers successful applicants the chance to lead exercise prescription for individuals managing chronic conditions. While the Kinesiology program is intensely rewarding, the campus environment perfectly complements the academic rigour; Brock boasts a safe, welcoming, and fun campus life, offering a strong community feel that ensures students have a balanced university experience outside of the labs and clinics, making it a truly exceptional place to learn and grow.

There are some good courses that are very current with today’s news, but your experience really depends on the professors you get. Some just directly follow a book that isn’t really useful, others rely solely on exams which doesn’t work for everyone, some aren’t engaging; you have to ask friends and ratemyprof to make sure you get good profs.

I enjoyed my time at Brock University, the majority of the teachers were nice and easy to talk to, and they were accommodating. additionally, the University’s Admin were always helpful and with me in each step of the way.

I think very highly of Brock University and have done both my Undergrad and Masters at Brock. The classes are make or break depending on the professor. The game design program is top-notch but limited in terms of alumni network.
