Our Programs

Bachelor of Kinesiology

The BKin program provides students with a breadth of understanding in kinesiology.

In the first two years, providing foundational courses in history, philosophy, sociology, motor control, psychology, anatomy, physiology, health, and biomechanics.

In the third and fourth years, students will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding in areas of interest, including human movement and performance and physical activity promotion, and at the same time have greater flexibility in course selection.

All students will be required to take 1.5 credits worth of our new activity/practicum courses that will provide a deeper understanding of fundamental movement skills and physical literacy across a broad range of activities. For more information, see Progression Requirements.

• The Master of Science in Kinesiology (MSc) is normally completed in two years.
• We have also offered a PhD program in Kinesiology since 2013/14.
