Program details
Overview
The Master of Kinesiology at the University of Regina is a two-year, course-based graduate program that does not require a thesis. It combines eight core classes with two professional practicum placements, giving students supervised, applied experience alongside academic study. The curriculum centres on clinical and applied movement science, covering exercise physiology, nutrition, the psychology of human movement, physical and neurological rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, and exercise programming for older adults. The first practicum is typically completed within the university's own community-based programs, such as rehabilitation and athlete performance services, while the second is arranged independently in a setting aligned with the student's career interests. Students have access to specialized kinesiology labs and equipment throughout the program. This degree suits graduates of an undergraduate health sciences program who want advanced, practice-oriented training rather than a research degree, and who are aiming toward careers as kinesiologists, exercise physiologists, strength and conditioning specialists, personal trainers, or practitioners in corporate wellness and rehabilitation settings. Applicants are generally expected to have completed coursework in human anatomy and physiology as part of their undergraduate studies.

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Master of Kinesiology requires a graduating average of at least 70 per cent from a four-year health sciences bachelor's degree. Applicants must also have completed coursework in human anatomy, human physiology, and two additional human health sciences classes before admission. The program page does not state its own English or French language-proficiency scores; per the University of Regina's graduate eligibility requirements, international applicants must submit proof of English proficiency through a recognized test unless exempt through prior Canadian post-secondary study, with the accepted tests and thresholds set out separately by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. The program page does not mention work-experience, letter-of-intent, interview, or reference requirements, and directs applicants to the graduate calendar for the Faculty of Kinesiology & Health Studies for full admission detail.
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.
