Bachelor of Science
Introduction
Congratulations on being accepted into a Bachelor of Science degree in the Faculty of Kinesiology.
Kinesiology is a multi-disciplinary science that includes study in the areas of anatomy, biomechanics, physiology, psychomotor behaviour, and social and cultural factors. The Faculty of Kinesiology is committed to training professionals who will have a strong foundation in the study of movement and sport health, both theoretically and practically.
Bachelor of Science degrees are offered as either a BSc or BSc (Honours). They both require the completion of 120 credits and can be completed in four years of full-time study.

The Faculty of Kinesiology offers both Bachelor of Kinesiology and Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology degree programs.
In the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology program, you can choose from majors in Biomechanics, Exercise and Health Physiology, Kinesiology or Motor and Psychosocial Aspects of Movements.
Students working towards a Bachelor of Science degree must ensure that they complete at least 63 units of science-designated course work over the duration of their program. The courses which are considered by the Faculty of Kinesiology to be science-based are listed in the University Calendar in the  Program Details section, under Faculty Requirements - "Additional Requirements for Bachelor of Science Programs."
