Kinesiology, recreation and health education

We're proud to be one of just a few education faculties in Canada to offer degree programs in kinesiology and recreation and health education.
In UVic Education we've known for a long time that healthy minds live in healthy bodies. In fact, research has shown that regular cardiovascular exercise boosts the brainpower of humans by improving blood flow to the brain.
Does this intrigue you? Does human movement amaze you? Are you excited by the prospect of educating generations of people to live healthier lifestyles through exercise, wellness and active living? Do you have a desire to study and work with internationally renowned researchers in their fields?
If you enjoy sports, healthy living, science or health, one of the programs in the School of Exercise Science, Physical and Health Education could be just what you¹re looking for.
