What it is	This program teaches you how the human body moves and functions during exercise, sport, and daily activity, combining anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. Unlike a general health science degree, kinesiology focuses specifically on physical movement and performance. The co-op option lets you work for employers in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings while completing your degree, suiting students who want practical experience alongside classroom learning.	This five-year program combines biotechnology and chemical engineering, so you study both how to manipulate living systems at the molecular level and how to design and scale up chemical processes. Unlike a straight biochemistry degree, you learn practical engineering skills for industrial production and apply them through mandatory co-op work terms. It suits students who want to bridge pure science and hands-on problem-solving in fields like pharmaceuticals, food processing, or biofuels.
