Program details

Overview

The PhD in Human Kinetics at Laurentian University trains researchers and experts to advance knowledge in the field, offered through two specialized streams: Occupational Health, Safety and Wellness, and Multicultural Physical Activity and Sport. The curriculum combines three graduate-level courses, a comprehensive examination, independent research, and a dissertation defence. A required independent study course, which may include an internship or community-based learning placement, connects doctoral research to applied work with community or workplace partners outside the university. Full-time students are expected to complete all degree requirements within four years of entry, while part-time students have up to six years to finish. The program is delivered on campus. The two streams allow students to focus their doctoral research either on occupational health, safety and wellness, or on multicultural dimensions of physical activity and sport.
