Description for 2024/25

This module offers students an applied perspective on biomechanics at an advanced
level. To support the theoretical concepts taught within the module across a number of
different tissue types, a practical understanding is also given through an experimental
workshop. Assessment is taken through a writeup
of the practical session and a final
unseen written examination.
