Who can apply
International applicants are considered under the same academic requirements as domestic candidates. Standard PhD applicants normally need a recognised master\'s degree with a defended thesis and approximately A- standing. Direct-entry applicants require exceptional bachelor\'s-level preparation. A background compatible with kinesiology and the faculty\'s interdisciplinary research is preferred, and admission requires an available supervisor.
About this opportunity
The University of Toronto PhD in Kinesiology supports interdisciplinary research in kinesiology and physical education. The programme provides a base funding package equivalent to CAD 40,000 per year for four years, or five years for direct-entry doctoral students.
Benefits
Base package equivalent to CAD 40,000 including tuition and incidental fees annually for years 1–4 of the regular full-time PhD and years 1–5 of the direct-entry PhD. Sources can include university fellowships, teaching and research assistantships, departmental awards and external scholarships.
Requirements
Regular PhD: recognised master\'s degree, defended thesis and academic standing around A-. Direct-entry requirements are higher and assessed separately. Application materials include transcripts, CV, statement of interest, two writing samples, references and English-language evidence where applicable. Applicants should identify and contact a potential supervisor early.
How to apply
From 1 October 2026, select Kinesiology and PHD-Kinesiology in the University of Toronto graduate portal. Submit the complete package and CAD 135 fee by 11 January 2027.
Find scholarships, postgraduate study and internships
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Fully funded scholarships in Canada, the USA and Europe
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
Paid internships abroad and online internships
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
NGO jobs, entry-level jobs and internships in Uganda
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Application years and named scholarship programmes
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
