Overview
This is the University of Regina's thesis-based Master of Science in Kinesiology and Health Studies, delivered in person on the Regina campus through the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies. The degree typically takes two to three years to complete and combines core graduate coursework with independent thesis research. All students take a graduate seminar covering academic research skills such as literature searching, scholarly writing, and presentation, along with a research design course introducing qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Students select a research focus from four tracks: Bio-Sciences in Sport, Exercise, and Health; Humanities and Social Sciences in Sport, Leisure, Exercise and Health; Management in Sport, Leisure, Exercise, and Health; or Health Studies, with faculty research spanning areas such as epidemiology, nutrition and exercise, neuro-rehabilitation, therapeutic recreation, disability studies, and sport and recreation management. Students have access to the faculty's research laboratories while completing their thesis. The program suits students who hold a bachelor's degree and want to build advanced research skills in kinesiology or health studies, working toward a career in research, academia, or specialized practice within sport, exercise, and health fields.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The program's own page states that a graduating average of at least 70% from a four-year bachelor's degree is required for admission to the Master of Science in Kinesiology and Health Studies. Applicants must also secure a prospective faculty supervisor before applying and submit a statement of rationale describing their intended research area and specialization preference. Prerequisite coursework depends on the chosen specialization: Bio-Sciences requires one course each in human anatomy, human physiology, biomechanics, and movement science; Humanities/Social Sciences requires three related courses plus one sport, leisure, exercise, or health social-science/humanities course; Management requires three management courses plus one sport/leisure management course; and Health Studies requires three health-related courses plus one humanities/social-sciences/management course. All applicants need one research-methods or data-management course, or formalized research experience. Neither the program page nor the graduate calendar publishes English-language test scores for this program; international applicants instead follow the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research's general proficiency policy.
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.
