What it isThis program teaches the science of how bodies move, exercise, and perform in sport and physical activity. You study human anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science rather than focusing mainly on teaching physical education in schools. It suits students interested in understanding the physical side of athletics, fitness, and health rather than just coaching or teaching it.This is a combined five-year degree that starts with physical activity science and fitness studies, then moves into occupational therapy — the practice of helping people regain function and independence through purposeful activities and exercises. Unlike completing these as separate degrees, this program integrates them from the beginning so your early coursework in anatomy and exercise science directly supports your later therapy training. It suits students interested in rehabilitation and working hands-on with people to improve their physical and mental well-being.Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and sport from biological and physical perspectives. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science to understand how bodies move and respond to physical activity. The BA offers broader flexibility in electives; the BSc includes more chemistry, physics, and advanced quantitative analysis, preparing you better for research or health science pathways. It suits people interested in exercise science, athletic performance, rehabilitation, or health promotion who want science grounded in practical movement.You 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.
