Independent Study

A professor and a student sitting at a desk reviewing notes.

An independent study course provides a student the opportunity to work with a faculty member on a project of mutual interest. Students seek out such an opportunity by contacting instructors/faculty members directly whose research and scholarly interests match their own. Faculty members do not need to be within the School of Kinesiology however the project must be applicable/connected to Kinesiology.

Students have worked with faculty members in the Sister Schools of the Faculty of Health Sciences as well as researchers in other Faculties at Western and at other institutions. Elements of the independent study course are arranged with the specific faculty member; that is what makes it an independent experience.

Requirement: All students must be registered in an Honours module, with a cumulative average of 75%+.

The deadline for all Independent Study projects is September 10. For the Fall term and January 10 for the Winter term.

Please note that this course is restricted to students registered in an Honours Specialization in Kinesiology.
