Overview

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 Sport Biomechanics from Loughborough University contains cutting-edge content, ranging from experimental data collection, analysis techniques and equipment, through to the latest theoretical considerations and research problems.

Careers

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 our MSc Sport Biomechanics go on to a variety of careers, including:

Elite athlete support: UK Sports Institute; Lawn Tennis Association; UK Athletics

Biomechanics technology: Hawkeye; Vicon; Progressive Sports Technologies

Biomechanics services: National Biomechanics Institute (US); Boardman Performance Centre; National Health Service

Research: University of Queensland (AUS); Pennsylvania State University (US); Université Gustave Eiffel (FRA); Loughborough University

During the programme, students are encouraged to enhance their career prospects by networking in the sport and exercise biomechanics community, join professional bodies, publish research, attend conferences and workshops, gain work experience in biomechanics or sports science, and develop your skills through the University's Personal Best programme.
