Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology
We offer cross-disciplinary undergraduate programs in Kinesiology, Biomedical Physiology and Behavioural Neuroscience, where you can specialize in active health and rehabilitation, and occupational ergonomics. BPK leads to an advanced understanding in physiology, anatomy, neuroscience, movement and human health through fundamental and applied research, education and service.
Discover what sets Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology apart
- Our Behavioural Neuroscience major is the first program of its kind in BC.
- Learn anatomy using an Anatomage Table, the only one in Western Canada.
- Opportunities to do undergraduate research in our primary research pillars: neuroscience, cardiovascular physiology, biomechanics, chronic disease, and environmental physiology
Build connections with peers and professors
“By the time I got to the courses I really care about; Anatomy and Physiology, classes were around 30-40 students. It’s really special because you get to have connections with professors who really care about they’re talking about, and TA’s have more time to spend with you and support you which creates a sense of community. You’re not a single person sitting in a sea of 500, you’re part of a team and I’ve made some really great friends in my classes.”
