Program details
Overview
The Human Kinetics program at the University of Regina leads to a Bachelor of Kinesiology in Human Kinetics, with an honours option, studied over four years. It examines human movement and exercise through anatomy, physiology, nutrition, biomechanics, movement behaviour, and exercise psychology, applying this knowledge to both individual and community-based programming. Students choose between two areas of emphasis: a high-performance stream covering strength and conditioning, sport psychology, and nutrition, or an adaptation and rehabilitation stream focused on exercise rehabilitation and disability support. Upper-level courses include hands-on laboratory work, and the program includes a full-time fieldwork placement in which students apply classroom learning in real-world exercise, health, or rehabilitation settings. The curriculum combines lecture-based instruction with practical labs, fitness assessment, and community engagement opportunities. This program suits students drawn to exercise science and health promotion who want a career working directly with people's physical activity and rehabilitation needs. Graduates pursue roles such as clinical kinesiologist, exercise physiologist, strength and conditioning coach, or fitness and wellness professional, and some continue into graduate study in physical therapy, occupational therapy, or medicine.

Admission Requirements: The Human Kinetics program page sets out no admission requirements of its own beyond directing applicants to select their student type and consult the Faculty of Kinesiology & Health Studies application guide. Under the University of Regina's general high-school assessment, applicants are judged on a four-course average — English or Français Language Arts, a higher-level math or calculus course, and two further approved math, science, social-science or language courses — with early conditional admission available to Grade 12 students on their Grade 11 and completed Grade 12 marks; for Fall 2027 entry the Faculty of Kinesiology & Health Studies sets that average at 70%. International undergraduate applicants pay a $100 CAD application fee and, unless exempt, must show English proficiency: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT overall 83 with no section below 20 (tests before 21 January 2026; overall 4.5 on the revised scale afterwards), PTE Academic 59, CAEL 60, or Duolingo English Test 120 overall with a Literacy score of 105.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
