What it isThis program teaches you how the human body moves and functions during exercise and physical activity, with hands-on study of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. Unlike a straight kinesiology degree, the applied stream emphasizes practical work in fitness, rehabilitation, and sport settings rather than pure research. It suits students interested in careers helping athletes and active people stay healthy, whether through coaching, fitness management, or injury prevention.Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles.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.
