| What it is | Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and sport from biological and physical perspectives. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science to understand how bodies move and respond to physical activity. The BA offers broader flexibility in electives; the BSc includes more chemistry, physics, and advanced quantitative analysis, preparing you better for research or health science pathways. It suits people interested in exercise science, athletic performance, rehabilitation, or health promotion who want science grounded in practical movement. | This combined five-year program starts with a bachelor's degree in physical activity science — the study of how the human body moves, exercises, and stays healthy — then transitions into a master's degree in occupational therapy. Unlike a standard bachelor's program, you're admitted directly into both degrees at once, so you progress through coursework designed to build from exercise science foundations into clinical therapy training. It suits students interested in helping people regain physical function and independence through movement and activity-based rehabilitation. | This is a combined five-year degree that starts with physical activity science and fitness studies, then moves into occupational therapy — the practice of helping people regain function and independence through purposeful activities and exercises. Unlike completing these as separate degrees, this program integrates them from the beginning so your early coursework in anatomy and exercise science directly supports your later therapy training. It suits students interested in rehabilitation and working hands-on with people to improve their physical and mental well-being. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
