Biomechanics and Mechanics of Modern Materials

This study programme is aimed at students interested in mathematics and applied mechanics. It focuses on discrete mechanics and continuum mechanics, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, biocybernetics, medical electronics and modelling of processes in the human body.

Students gain deep knowledge of mathematics, discrete mechanics, continuum mechanics, modelling of heterogeneous environments and Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Moreover, they acquire basic knowledge of modelling in human biomechanics, biocybernetics, medical electronics and modelling of processes in the human body. Students gain insight into informatics, computer networks, parallel programming, biomaterials and material chemistry.

Graduates find employment in computational science laboratories, research and development, medical research, forensic medicine, computer modelling, or computer simulation of applied mechanics, such as modelling in biomechanics. These areas of research are booming and, therefore, it is necessary to educate engineers capable of communicating with doctors and using complex medical technology with the support of computer technology.
