What it isYou study human movement, exercise science, and how the body responds to physical activity, then transition directly into specialized training in physiotherapy — hands-on treatment of injuries and movement disorders. This five-year combined program lets you earn both a bachelor's and master's degree without applying separately, and it leads to eligibility for physiotherapy licensing. It suits students drawn to science-based healthcare who want to work hands-on with patients recovering from injury or managing physical disabilities.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.Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and the body's response to physical activity. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and psychology to understand how muscles, bones, and organs work during exercise and sport. This program suits people interested in fitness science, rehabilitation, sports performance, or health promotion who want a science-based foundation before pursuing careers like personal training, physiotherapy, or exercise coaching.
