MSc or PhD Studentships in Podiatric Biomechanics

Hello

Just a query as to whether anyone is aware of any MSc or PhD studentships along the lines of Podiatric Biomechanics, Biomechanics in Sport, Sporting Orthoses Manufacture etc. As a UK student I am willing to look abroad if I have to/can?

Many Thanks

Tom

 

You can do a research degree (MSc/MPhil/PhD) in Bioengineering at most established Universities, or a taught MSc in Biomech - I believe Salford do one.

I should just add that entry requirements for a higher degree at established Uni's, as opposed to uprated Polys, are usually a 2.1 or First at Hons level. You may feel, as I did, that moving out of podiatric circles to do a higher degree would be useful. There is also a certain kudos in having an alumni email account from, say, Oxford or Cambridge (or, in my case, Durham).

I believe that most, if not all the UK Schools of Podiatry run their own higher degree programmes. The Schools are all now, I believe, based at uprated Polys, and their entry requirements for a higher degree are not as stringent.

Nothing wrong with the uprated Polys BTW. I did a two year part-time top-up degree at Sunderland Uni a good few years ago and it was very thorough.

 

Hi Tom

Try findaphd.com

It also covers masters degrees too and I find it a good place for support as a PhD student myself

Best wishes

I know Huddersfield do one

Hope that helps

Many thanks for all your contributions guys

I know there is one at Salford that I have spoken to a few people about, hopefully doing a studentship in the summer that should put me on the radar for that. I wouldn't mind studying abroad either, Canada if its a possibility, hard to find information on this kind of thing.

Never really made the link between a Bioengineering qualification and Podiatry, however this would no doubt be vastly beneficial. Not sure whether I would be considered after a Podiatry BSc, however I do have a Physiology BSc which may help. Will have to do some more research in to this.

Cheers

Tom
