Our MSc Sport Biomechanics has been designed to develop your knowledge of the theoretical basis underpinning sports biomechanics analyses, while also providing you with all of the core data collection, processing and analysis techniques necessary to analyse and understand human motion. For more information about part-time study patterns, please contact the School/Department.

Compulsory modules

The aim of this module is for the student to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to understand, interpret, and conduct quantitative research appropriate for their field and level of study.

The aim of this module is for students to develop knowledge and understanding of orthopaedic sport biomechanics ranging from the epidemiology and anatomy, to the common injuries, their diagnostic methods, treatment, rehabilitation, and evaluation and implementation of clinical outcomes and prevention.

The aim of this module is for the student to apply classical mechanics to human motion and to develop the skills and understanding for 2D and 3D motion analysis to be able to collect, process, calculate, and interpret kinetic and kinematic data during dynamic sporting activities.

The aim of this module is for students to develop their skills and understanding of processing and analysing biomechanical data to appropriately answer a research question.

Compulsory modules

The aim of this module is for students to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to construct, evaluate, and optimise computer models of human movement.

The aim of this module is to develop an understanding of neuromuscular function from the level of the muscle contractile filaments, through to whole-body human function, encompassing skeletal muscle and tendinous tissues, neural control of muscle contraction and joint mechanics, whilst also gaining practical skills assessing human neuromuscular function.
