What you studyPsychologyHospitality, Recreation and LeisureHuman BiologySport & Exercise ScienceEducation StudiesHuman BiologySport & Exercise Science
What it isYou study how the human mind works and how the brain produces behaviour, emotion, and thought. This program combines psychology — the study of behaviour and mental processes — with neuroscience, which looks at the brain's biology and chemistry. It suits people curious about why people think and act as they do, and who want to understand the physical basis of the mind.You study how physical activity, sport, and exercise affect human health and performance, plus how to design and manage recreation and wellness programs. Unlike a pure exercise science program, this degree balances the science side with practical skills in running fitness facilities, community programs, and leisure services. It suits people who want to combine their interest in fitness and health with careers in coaching, program management, or public health promotion.You study how to teach physical education and health to middle and high school students, grounded in the science of human movement, exercise, and sport. Unlike a straight kinesiology degree, this program combines your science coursework with teacher training and practicums so you earn your teaching credential while you study. It suits students who want to work with teenagers in schools and have a genuine interest in both the science behind fitness and health education.
