Master of Science in Kinesiology and Health Sciences (Aeronautics)

Waterloo's Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences has been a defining force in graduate teaching and research. Waterloo's graduate programs in Biomechanics (MSc, PhD), Physiology and Nutrition (MSc, PhD) and Neuroscience (MSc, PhD) are well recognized in Canada and internationally. In addition to this, we are educating the educators: University of Waterloo alumni now dominate the Kinesiology faculty rosters of Canada's most respected universities. In addition to supporting our graduate students with state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities, the Department guarantees funding for full-time grad students through a combination of teaching assistantship (TA), research assistantship (RA), and scholarship. The thesis-based Master of Science program aims to advance knowledge in human health and movement sciences, and to foster a unique interdisciplinary research approach. Course work and research is focused in three fields: Biomechanics, Neuroscience or Physiology and Nutrition. You'll acquire sufficient knowledge to pursue research at a superior level, develop a facility with quantitative methods, and obtain an understanding of the components that together make up the multidiscipline of kinesiology.
As the world's first Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences, we continue to ignite an interdisciplinary approach to optimize health, prevent injury and illness, and extend the years of high-quality life.

Our nationally and internationally recognized and respected master's program provides the opportunity to understand cellular to societal implications of physical activity, nutrition and lifestyle - preparing you for careers in a wide range of health fields.
