Innovation drives research in the School of Kinesiology.
The School of Kinesiology is internationally recognized for its distinguished research and innovation applied to the study of human movement, sport, physical activity, and health. The School is home to over 25 active researchers and 100 graduate students, who are linked through collaborative, multidisciplinary networks with other institutions, research centres, and clusters at UBC and abroad. We are also pleased that our School is consistently ranked as one of the top Kinesiology programs in Canada and the world.
Research Clusters
Today, the School is now featured prominently at UBC in research leadership through cross-cutting Research Clusters funded by the Provost’s office. The School’s graduate students are amongst the highest in tri-council funding success, and the BKIN degree is one of the most admissions-competitive programs at UBC. KIN student ratings of satisfaction are consistently amongst the highest across the university.
