Bachelor Programme

Kinesiology

Brock's Kinesiology programs study human movement, exercise and sport, with a choice between a practice-focused Bachelor of Kinesiology (BKin) and a research-focused BSc in Kinesiology. Courses cover anatomy, biomechanics, exercise physiology, sport psychology and nutrition, with advanced topics in ergonomics, exercise prescription, neuromechanics, sports injuries and training methods. BKin students get hands-on lab work and placements in clinical and sport settings, including Brock Sports Performance, Brock Sports Medicine and the Bfit Centre. Students can also apply for the Accelerate into Master's (AIM) route, which adds a one-year Master of Professional Kinesiology with three placements, or an International Double Degree with a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of Portsmouth (UK). Kinesiology is a regulated health profession in Ontario.

Application Deadline

Fall 2027 (September): apply by 15 January 2027, through OUAC if you are also applying to other Ontario universities, or through Brock's International Full Time application (CAD 130 fee) if you are applying only to Brock. Programs may stay open after the deadline, but Brock says competitive programs can reach capacity, in which case you may be offered an alternate program. Applications from students outside Ontario high schools are only reviewed once the documents listed in the Brock student portal arrive. Current Ontario high school students must accept an offer on OUAC by 1 June 2027. Brock's own application also lists Winter (January) entry, with a 1 December deadline, and Spring (May) entry, with a 1 April deadline, but not every program is available at every entry point. Students who do not yet meet the English requirement can use the IELP conditional application, which has continuous intake

Tuition Information

International: CAD 39,834.95 a year in tuition for students entering in 2026 (the Arts and Sciences flat fee charged for a full-time load of 4.0 or more credits in Fall 2026 and Winter 2027), plus CAD 584.45 in per-credit ancillary fees and the Province of Ontario's CAD 750 International Recovery Fee, so about CAD 41,169.40 before sessional fees. These figures are from Brock's 2026 undergraduate Fall/Winter fee schedule, which Brock marks as subject to change. Brock holds an international student's tuition rate for up to five academic years of a first degree, but rates for students entering in Fall 2027 have not been published yet. International students also pay sessional fees, including UHIP health insurance (CAD 948), the BUSU health (CAD 216.87) and dental (CAD 161.63) plans, the transit pass (CAD 364.94), the health services fee (CAD 34.80) and a one-time CAD 127.63 engagement levy. US residents pay a lower international rate (CAD 29,876.20 flat fee). Ontario residents pay CAD 6,211.15 (2026 flat fee). Entering international students with an admission average of 80% or higher are automatically considered for the International Brock Scholars Award, worth CAD 7,000-32,000 over four years for 2026-27 entrants

Admission Requirements

  • Apply through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC). International students on a study permit who are applying only to Brock can use Brock's International Full Time application instead. Brock makes an offer to one program only, so list your top choice first
  • Ontario prerequisites: for the BKin, AIM and double degree, English (ENG4U), Biology (SBI4U) and one 4U math (MHF4U preferred); for the BScKin, English (ENG4U), Biology (SBI4U) and Advanced Functions (MHF4U) or Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) at 70% or higher. Brock's 2027 admission chart lists a competitive secondary school average of B for the BKin, BScKin and double degree and A+ for AIM. The program page gives expected cut-offs in the high 70s for the BKin and BScKin, low 80s for the double degree and mid 80s for AIM
  • Applicants from outside Ontario need the secondary credential that gives university entry in their own country, with prerequisites taken at the Grade 12 university-preparatory level, and generally at least a B- average. Examples from Brock's country requirements: the IB Diploma with the right subjects (Brock converts IB subject grades and does not use the total score); five GCE/GCSE/IGCSE subjects at grade C or above, including two A-levels (or four AS-levels plus one O-level); India's CBSE or CISCE Year 12 certificate with at least 50% overall; the WAEC/NECO certificate with eight subjects for Nigeria or six for Ghana and a C4 average; or a US Grade 12 diploma with five academic subjects, usually with a B average. Meeting the minimum does not guarantee admission
  • English proficiency (if English is not your first language): IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0 (One Skill Retake accepted); TOEFL iBT 88 with no section below 21, or for tests taken from 1 January 2026, 4.5 overall with at least 4.0 in Reading and Speaking and 4.5 in Writing and Listening; Duolingo 110; CAEL 70 with no band below 60; PTE Academic 58; Cambridge C1 Advanced or C2 Proficiency 176; Level 5 of Brock's Intensive English Language Program (IELP); or the IB Diploma with English A. Online versions of IELTS, TOEFL, CAEL and PTE are accepted
  • Applicants with qualifications from countries on Brock's exempt list (including the UK, US, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya) do not need a test, and others with at least three years of full-time English-medium (non-ESL) study can request an exemption. If you meet every requirement except English, you can apply to the IELP/undergraduate conditional program and start your degree after finishing IELP Level 5
