The Bachelor of Health Science (Biokinetics) at Nelson Mandela University is a four-year professional degree that prepares students to become registered biokineticists — movement specialists who use exercise as therapy for injury rehabilitation and chronic disease management. Students study human anatomy, exercise physiology, clinical assessment, rehabilitation protocols, and chronic disease management, with supervised clinical placements in healthcare settings. Biokineticists are registered with HPCSA and play a growing role in South Africa's healthcare system, particularly in addressing the country's increasing burden of lifestyle diseases. Submission of a satisfactory medical report is required.
