What it is	Human Kinetics is the study of how the human body moves and functions, combining anatomy, physiology, and exercise science. Unlike a general biology degree, it focuses specifically on physical performance, fitness, and health rather than broader biological systems. It suits students interested in exercise science, sports medicine, rehabilitation, or health-related careers who want a science-based foundation in movement and body function.	Health Sciences is a broad study of how the human body works and what affects health and disease. You'll take courses in biology, chemistry, and related subjects, with options to specialize as you progress. The co-op stream lets you alternate between classroom learning and paid work terms at hospitals, research labs, or health organizations, giving you real experience before graduation. This program suits students interested in understanding health from a scientific angle, whether or not they're certain about medicine or a specific health career yet.	Life Sciences at UTM lets you study how living systems work, from the structure of molecules to human health and evolution. You can focus on areas like molecular biology, biotechnology, human biology, or anthropology depending on your interests. The program includes optional co-op work terms that let you gain hands-on experience in labs, hospitals, or research settings alongside your coursework — useful if you're considering health professions or research careers.

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.
