For international students

Brock welcomes international students, including students from Pakistan, for bachelor's and master's programmes. The main intake is September, with some programmes also starting in January or May. You will need academic transcripts and an English test such as IELTS or TOEFL.

Canada caps the number of new study permits each year, and most applicants now need a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) from the province along with their admission letter. The rules change often, so our team checks the latest requirements for your course before you apply.
