Program details

Overview

This postgraduate diploma deepens professional training in kinesiology for graduates seeking advanced applied expertise. The 30-credit, full-time programme is delivered through day and evening courses at the Montreal campus and follows a non-thesis pathway. Full-time completion takes a minimum of two trimesters, with up to twelve trimesters (four years) allowed from initial enrollment. Coursework builds advanced applied knowledge in exercise science and kinesiology practice, covering assessment and intervention methods used with clinical and performance populations, and preparing graduates for specialized roles in clinical exercise intervention, rehabilitation, and health-and-performance settings that build on an undergraduate kinesiology background. Admission also requires a curriculum vitae and a letter of motivation setting out the candidate's reasons for choosing the programme and their professional objectives. No internship is listed as a formal programme requirement, and the programme does not include a thesis component.
