Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Kinesiology in Sport Performance, offered by the University of Alberta's Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport and Recreation, examines both the theoretical and practical sides of sport performance through an interdisciplinary approach that combines arts-based and science-based study of human movement. The degree is delivered on campus in Edmonton, with small, specialized and interactive class sizes and access to the faculty's learning, research and athletic facilities, and it is designed to give students foundational career skills alongside opportunities to apply classroom concepts in work settings. It exists as a more specialized alternative to the faculty's broader science-focused Kinesiology degree. The program suits students focused specifically on the science and practice of athletic performance, preparing them for roles such as strength and conditioning specialist, kinesiologist, exercise therapist or biomechanics technician.

Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to the University of Alberta, not through a provincial service: for Fall 2027 entry the application window opens 1 October 2026 and the deadline for most programmes is 1 March 2027, though several limited-enrolment programmes close earlier (Juris Doctor, 1 December 2026; Dental Hygiene, 1 November 2026) or later (Bachelor of Design and BFA programmes, 1 May 2027); Spring and Summer 2027 admission also opens 1 October 2026, while Winter intake is limited to a few programmes. International applicants use the identical published dates and online application; the university states no separate international closing date. The 1 March deadline is firm and late applications are not accepted, but admission decisions are then issued on a rolling basis, and offers made before 1 April must be accepted by 1 May 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
