The University will offer a Master’s in clinical biomechanics for the first time in October. This part-time, three-year Master’s programme is aimed at healthcare professionals, doctors, engineers and sports scientists.
Clinical biomechanics is increasingly being used abroad both for the clinical investigation of patients with gait impairment and for research related to movement capture and analysis in areas as diverse as biomechanics of the diabetic foot, sports analysis and ergonomics. There is a huge potential in developing this field further in Malta, to cover aspects such as medical, engineering and sports.
The study programme is now possible following substantial investment by the Faculty of Health Sciences in a state-of-the-art biomechanics laboratory.
The course application deadline is July 24; The online application is available at www.um.edu.mt/apply.
