What it isThis program covers the science of how the human body works and how health systems use technology and data. Unlike a pre-med program, it does not guarantee entry into medical school and instead prepares you for careers in health research, data analysis, or public health. It suits students who are strong in science and math but want flexibility to explore health fields beyond clinical practice.This program combines science study with teacher education, so you earn qualifications to teach science in secondary school while completing your degree. Unlike a regular science degree followed by teacher training, you work toward both goals at the same time, with coursework in science disciplines alongside education theory and practice teaching. It suits students who know they want to teach and want to study science deeply rather than broadly.You study how the human body moves, functions, and performs during exercise and sport, combining biology with practical movement science. This program pairs a kinesiology degree with an international exchange or partnership component, giving you study or work experience outside Canada alongside your core training. It suits students interested in exercise science, sports medicine, or fitness who want global perspective and cross-cultural experience alongside hands-on study of human performance.
