Doctor of Philosophy in Kinesiology - Neuromechanical Studies

The Neuromechanical cluster includes researchers and scholars dedicated to understanding how neurological, cognitive, sensory, mechanical and muscular systems interact to control human motion and its response to the physical environment. This includes the study of automatic and volitional behaviours, neuro-muscular control, sensorimotor integration and adaptation, systems physiology, biomechanics, motor learning and expert performance and applications for rehabilitation and sport.

The program is governed by the general requirements for the PhD degree as laid out by the Faculty of Graduate Studies’ policies and procedures. In addition to the Faculty of Graduate Studies' provisions, the School of Kinesiology normally requires a thesis-based master's degree in Human Kinetics, Physical Education, Kinesiology, or other related fields of study, with a minimum of 76% (B plus ) overall for admission.All students must have an individual faculty member who agrees during the application process to serve as the student’s supervisor.
