If you want a program where you’ll explore the human body inside and out, you’ve found your fit.
Kinesiology at Waterloo was the first of its kind in the world. You’ll learn from world-class professors experts who are changing lives by creating solutions to big health challenges. You’ll combine biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, social sciences, nutrition, and neuroscience to gain the most comprehensive understanding of human movement.
Dive into over 20 immersive, interactive lab experiences — from sport injury management and exercise physiology to motor control, biomechanics, and first-year anatomy in the human cadaver lab — where you’ll turn textbook knowledge into real-world, practical skills.
Kinesiology is your gateway to a rewarding career in health care and the perfect launchpad for professional school (think medicine, physiotherapy, chiropractic, and more). With plenty of hands-on experience built into the program, co-op is an added bonus, integrating 20 months of paid experience into your degree.
Whether you eventually work with Olympic hopefuls or someone striving to overcome a cancer diagnosis, Kin is your in.
