MSc Biomechanics of Human Movement

Examine human movement from a biomechanical perspective and learn how to apply this to performance, health, and injury on this master’s course.

As part of this course, you’ll:

• Be taught at one of the largest providers of sport in UK higher education
• Apply the principles of biomechanics to support and enhance your understanding of human movement and injury
• Examine the function and movement of the human body through laboratory data collection – employing cutting-edge technology such as 3D motion analysis, dynamometry and in-depth analysis of the neuromuscular system
• Critically assess and learn how to apply theories, methodologies and research findings to future research and practice
• Develop empirical rigour in identifying solutions to complex problems

Industry insights

Your learning will be inspired by the very latest insights. You’ll be supported by tutors who are engaged in research and scientific support within the areas of neuromuscular assessment, musculoskeletal biomechanics, and the optimisation of athletic performance.

Professional expertise

Your teaching team continues to provide support and guidance for athletic and clinical populations. Under their supervision, you’ll be able to apply your learning into research, practice, and continued professional development.

Applicants should either have at least a second class honours degree in the cognate subjects of Sport & Exercise Science, Physical Sciences, Engineering, Physics, Biomechanics, Sports Technology, Sports Therapy, Physical Education or Podiatry, at least a second class honours degree in a non-cognate subject supported by evidence of an aptitude for the subject applied for, or have equivalent experience or training, normally from within the work environment. All applications should be supported by a reference, either academic or professional.
