BSC mechanical engineering with biomechanics

Have you ever wondered what causes organisms to behave the way they do? Or how living systems interact with one another? A Bachelor’s degree in Biomechanics will introduce you to the fascinating world of one of today’s most exciting interdisciplinary scientific fields.

Our program exposes students to both engineering and biological sciences and provides the tools needed to integrate into the rapidly growing field of biomechanics. Biomechanics combines the principles of mechanics — including forces, stresses, material strength, and fluid flow — with biological sciences such as zoology, plant biology, cell biology, and tissue science. The goal is to understand the mechanical properties of biological systems at every scale, from cells and tissues to entire organisms, and to analyze the engineering principles operating within living systems.

A deeper understanding of mechanical principles in biological systems enables the development of innovative technologies such as robotics, biomaterials, tissue engineering, implants, artificial organs, and biomimetics. And who knows — perhaps the movement of a bird’s wing will inspire the next technological revolution.
