Academic program details

The list of required courses and the recommended sequence for the Kinesiology Program are outlined in the current UVIC Calendar

If you are currently in the Kinesiology Major and Major Co-op programs and wish to seek an honours degree, you would normally apply at the start of your third year in the program. Complete Section 1 of the Honours Application Form and submit it to the EPHE academic adviser. If you meet the honours eligibility requirements, you will need to find a supervisor for your honours thesis before being accepted into the program. Review the research profiles of faculty to determine who to approach. Instructions for finding a supervisor are available on the application form.
