Location of The University of Manchester
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.
A key component of the MSc is the opportunity to undertake two research placements in the laboratories of our world-class Life Science researchers and potentially with colleagues in local industries and institutes and in other Faculties within the University. The research skills you learn whilst undertaking your projects will be invaluable should you choose to move on to a PhD.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.
Course aims * To attract and nurture high calibre students with a background in numerate sciences or biology and prepare them for continuing interdisciplinary research in industry or academia by providing them with the biomechanics, biology and mathematical background and research experience that complements their own, and with a comprehensive set of professional and transferable skills that will be vital for their future professional development in research or industrial development at the frontier between biology and mechanics.
* To meet the high demand of universities and industrial employers for bright numerate students that can speak biology effectively, by supplying high calibre graduates with a proven commitment to research, coupled with general transferable skills and a broad base of biological, engineering and mathematical research skills and experience.
* To instil in students the advantages of a multi-disciplinary and collaborative approach to addressing key scientific questions, and to encourage them to take an "holistic" approach to their research.
* To train students in the importance of science in the wider community, including the importance of presenting and communicating their science and the importance of addressing ethical issues raised by their science.
* To enable students to make an informed decision about their personal suitability and motivation for a research career
