Understanding, analyzing, and simulating movement
How do humans generate and control movement? How can physical loading, performance, and the body’s adaptive responses be analyzed and modeled using modern technology?
The Master’s program in Movement Science and Biomechanics combines the natural sciences, engineering, and health sciences. You will gain in-depth knowledge of movement, physiology, and motor skills and work with techniques such as kinematics, electrophysiology, computer simulations, and modeling. Graduates are qualified for careers in research, industry, medical technology, healthcare, and competitive sports.
- Interdisciplinary university studies at the intersection of movement science, biomechanics, and engineering
- Modern methods such as motion capture, electrophysiology, and computer simulations
- Research-oriented study program with opportunities to participate in current scientific projects
- Individual specialization through a wide range of elective options
- Excellent connections with research, healthcare, industry, and competitive sports
An interest in the structure and function of the human musculoskeletal system as well as in the analysis of movement from biomechanical, neuromechanical, and neurophysiological perspectives is helpful. A basic understanding of anatomy, physiology, mathematics, and physics is advantageous. A basic understanding of kinematics, dynamics, or electromyography is beneficial. An interest in research, teamwork, and interdisciplinary collaboration is also desirable. The curriculum covers movement science as well as physical loading and adaptation processes with areas of specialization in modeling or neuropsychology.
