Brock University

Brock University in St. Catharines was founded in 1964 and is known for business and sport management. Its sport management provision is among the more established in Canada, which for a Kazakh applicant is worth noting specifically. Kazakhstan invests substantially in elite sport with national programmes in wrestling, boxing, weightlifting, cycling and athletics, and sport administration is a field that employs at home. A student interested in the science of sport rather than its management should compare this against sport science programmes, which address a different discipline and lead to different work. Oenology and viticulture are a further distinctive offering, reflecting the Niagara wine industry and taught at few other Canadian universities. St. Catharines sits in the Niagara region with living costs materially below Toronto and a smaller labour market.
