The School of Kinesiology offers graduate students original investigations (M.A., M.Sc., Ph.D.) and advanced study (M.Kin.) in biological, behavioural, and socio-cultural research in Kinesiology. Students entering the M.A. program are normally expected to have a background in social sciences, while students applying to the M.Sc. program are expected to have a background in the natural or health sciences. Potential M.Kin. students are required to have a B.Kin. or its equivalent.

The School has excellent research facilities and graduate students work alongside some of the top researchers in the field of Kinesiology. This program follows a mentorship model and admission requires a faculty member to agree to act as a research supervisor. Applications meeting the minimum eligibility requirements are forwarded to potential supervisors identified by the applicant, and the recommendation for admission is made by individual faculty members.
