Master's degree completion

Students are expected to complete all requirements for the Master's degree within two academic years of full-time study.

tuition fees

The UBC Calendar provides information regarding current tuition fees for the School’s master’s degree programs. Masters students are assessed fees as full-time students. Candidates pursuing part-time study must apply for the four-year schedule of payments. Candidates making this selection are advised that they are ineligible to receive government loans, interest-free status and University Fellowships or Scholarships. Students holding UBC scholarships will have their tuition fees deducted directly from scholarship payments. The first installment of tuition fees for new students must be paid by the beginning of the first month of the term for which the student is registering. Additional tuition fee information is available at the above Website.

Full-time versus part-time studies

Although it is strongly recommended for all students to undertake full-time study, the Master's program may also be undertaken on a part-time basis.

Applying without a Human Kinetics Bachelor's Degree

Applicants with an undergraduate degree other than Human Kinetics will receive serious consideration, particularly if undergraduate or other experiences provide a strong relationship to Human Kinetics.

minimum requirements for full admission

A background of appropriate undergraduate courses is expected for the area of graduate study chosen.
