Bachelor's in Biomechanics

Biomechanics is a Bachelor program taught at University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Intake: Fall, Spring. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (4 years) options.

The University of Calgary’s Biomechanics Bachelor of Science (BSc) studies the forces acting upon and within biological structures and the effects these forces produce. Students learn to apply mechanical theories and concepts to living systems, with special emphasis on the human body and its movement, structure, and function. Course work includes subjects such as Activity (Essence and Experience), Calculus for Engineers and Scientists, Introduction to Research in Kinesiology, Introduction to Socio-Cultural Aspects of Sport, and Human Anatomy and Physiology I.

Learning focuses on active problem-solving in class and during labs. Students develop lab work skills through supervised laboratory settings and use tools and techniques in that environment. The program also includes practicum experience, described as an opportunity to gain hands-on career related experiences in a professional setting. Study abroad opportunities are also listed as available for cultural and academic experiences at destinations around the world.
