The Bachelor of Biokinetics at UJ is a professional degree that qualifies graduates to register as biokineticists with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). Biokineticists use exercise as medicine — assessing, prescribing, and supervising therapeutic exercise programmes for patients with chronic diseases, orthopaedic injuries, neurological conditions, and post-surgical rehabilitation needs. Students develop expertise in exercise physiology, biomechanics, functional movement assessment, and clinical exercise prescription. South Africa's rising burden of non-communicable disease and increasing sports medicine demands create strong career prospects in private practice, corporate wellness, and public health.
