The well-established Sport Biomechanics programme provides the opportunity for students to gain an in-depth understanding of all major aspects of sport biomechanics. The Sports Biomechanics MSc enables you to specialise in the "physics of sports" - the area of science concerned with the analysis of human movement. Through movement, simulation and measurement, it seeks to gain a greater understanding of human performance in athletic and sporting activities, and to use this understanding to improve performance and reduce injury risk. The content of this cutting edge programme ranges from experimental techniques and equipment requirements and use, through to the latest theoretical considerations and research problems. Study runs from October to September and is split into three terms; during the autumn and spring terms you will attend taught modules during which you will learn a range of hands-on laboratory and field techniques, and experience theoretical modelling and computer simulation of human movement. The Sport Biomechanics programme culminates in a substantial independent research project which runs from the beginning of the summer term until the end of the programme, during this time you will get the opportunity to apply the techniques learned during the taught course. Our Sport Biomechanics programme provides an opportunity to join the largest sport biomechanics and motor control research team in the UK, with many staff who are members of the Sport Biomechanics and Motor Control Research Group. This diverse and friendly community will offer many extra-curricular opportunities for you to participate in research activities and to learn from biomechanists with a huge amount of experience and expertise. During the year you will also be encouraged to develop your employability and industry-specific skills through career talks, and opportunities for employment and volunteering in applied sports science settings. Graduates from Sport Biomechanics have gone on to biomechanics teaching in higher education, athlete support within the English Institute of Sport, and PhD research.
