MSc Biomechanics: The University of Manchester

Course description

Biomechanics is a central area of biology that enables scientists to understand the mechanical design of organisms, but it is also increasingly important as it underpins many of the applied technologies such as biomaterials, tissue engineering and sports science.

The aim of this course is to provide truly interdisciplinary training in the application of analytical, experimental and computer simulation methods to biomechanics, both pure and applied. The objective is to bring students from both biological and physical sciences backgrounds to the level at which they undertake research at the cutting edge.
