Course Overview

Our well-established Sport Biomechanics degree programme enables you to specialise in the physics of sport - the area of science concerned with the analysis of human movement. Through the measurement and simulation of movement, the degree facilitates a greater understanding of human performance in sporting and recreational activities. This understanding can then be used to improve performance and reduce injury risk.The programme contains cutting-edge content, ranging from experimental data collection, analysis techniques and equipment, through to the latest theoretical considerations and research problems.Throughout the programme you will benefit from access to a large designated teaching laboratory and use key pieces of biomechanics equipment, including Vicon motion analysis systems, force plates, wireless electromyography (EMG), and isokinetic dynamometers. Additionally, you will use the programming language MATLAB for data processing and analysis, as well as software for computer simulation and inertia modelling.The programme culminates in an original research project, allowing you to apply the knowledge and expertise you have gained from the taught modules to independently collect and analyse data to answer a research question.
