The Kinesiology (BKin, MHK) program at Dalhousie University offers a Bachelor of Kinesiology (BKin) as an undergraduate degree focusing on the scientific study of human movement, exercise physiology, biomechanics, and health promotion. The program emphasizes hands-on learning through laboratory experiences and practical applications in physical activity and rehabilitation. The Master of Health and Kinesiology (MHK) is a graduate-level research degree that builds on this foundation, preparing students for advanced roles in research, policy, or clinical practice.
Graduates are prepared for diverse roles in healthcare, fitness, education, and research. Common pathways include certification as kinesiologists, pursuit of professional degrees in physiotherapy or medicine, or positions in sports organizations and public health.
The program is housed in the School of Health and Human Performance, led by Director Dr. David Westwood, with notable faculty including experts in biomechanics and exercise physiology such as Dr. Martin Gibala (affiliated research collaborator) and Dr. Kevin Power.
