Master Mecanique — Biomécanique

Tuition costs 292 USD per year.

Université de Montpellier offers Master Mecanique — Biomécanique, a master's program in Montpellier, France, focused on biomechanics, the application of mechanical principles to biological systems. Mechanical engineering, the broader discipline this program draws from, studies the forces, materials, and motion involved in physical systems, and biomechanics applies those same principles to the human body and other living organisms, examining how tissues, joints, and movement behave under mechanical loads. Students in this field typically study the mechanics of biological materials, movement and motion analysis, modeling of the musculoskeletal system, and the design of medical devices or equipment that interact with the human body, alongside foundations in mechanics, mathematics, and often some biology or physiology. Coursework often combines engineering methods with applied projects connected to human movement, injury mechanisms, or medical device design. Graduates from biomechanics programs commonly move into roles such as biomechanics engineer, medical device design engineer, or research positions within healthcare technology companies, sports science organizations, or research institutions studying human movement and injury. Some continue toward further study or doctoral research in biomechanics or biomedical engineering. The program is a 2-year master's degree, with a September start according to the source listing, and yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Instruction is delivered in French, as is standard at French public universities, so applicants should be comfortable studying technical and biology-adjacent material in that language.
