Compulsory modules

Quantitative Research (15 credits)

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.

Orthopaedic Sport Biomechanics (15 credits)

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.

Core Biomechanics (30 credits)

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.

Theories and Methods of Analysis in Biomechanics (30 credits)

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.
