    About

    Kinesiology's research is focused on the biosciences; psychological, socio-cultural, managerial and philosophical aspects of human performance, recreation and sport; and personal and community health and wellness. Topics range from exploring the processes underlying human movement to investigating volunteerism at national events, and assessing human factors and ergonomics in industry. 

    UNB leads the province in health and wellness research through collaboration with groups such as The Stan Cassidy Centre for Rehabilitation, Horizon Health, various sport and recreation agencies and governmental departments. Our Community Outreach Programs provide opportunities for inter-disciplinary and collaborative research. We generally have about 50-60 students who have use of the Andrew & Marjorie McCain Human Performance Lab, McCain HPL Instrumentation Room, Cardiometabolic Exercise & Lifestyle Laboratory, Health, Exercise and Sport Psychology Lab, Occupational Performance Laboratory, Motor Control Lab/Musculoskeletal Health Lab, and the Centre for Recreation and Sport in Society.

    5. Submit your documents

    You'll need to mail us the following:

    Official or notarized transcripts/grades for all secondary or high school, colleges and universities you have attended.

    • All applicants must disclose any prior attendance at a university or other post-secondary institution in Canada or abroad, regardless of whether they are seeking transfer credit. Failure to disclose this information may result in a rejection of the student’s application or subsequent suspension from UNB.

    If your transcripts are not in English, you are required to send the official transcript and provide a certified translation.

    If applicable, submit the results from any academic tests you have taken, such as SAT, ACT, Cambridge ‘O’ and ‘A’ levels, CXC or others.

    If you are applying for direct admission to an undergraduate program at UNB and are not exempt from our English language requirements, submit your English language proficiency test score. UNB accepts IELTS; MELAB; TOEFL iBT; TOEFL (paper-based); TOEFL (computer-based); MELAB; CAEL; Pearson Vue, and CanTest.

    If you are applying to transfer from a post-secondary institution to UNB, you must submit course outlines to be assessed for credit transfer. A course outline (also known as a syllabus) is a document that typically provides a detailed summary of topics to be covered in a course, titles of reading materials, and the grading policy. All course outlines must be provided in English.

    Note: If you are over the age of 21, you are considered a mature student and must submit a resume of your education and work experience since high school. These particular documents can be uploaded to your UNB application account.
