It was the first web-based MSc course in clinical embryology, established in 2000.

Since then over 300 students, from around 40 countries, have attended. The course was developed by the Division of Reproduction and Early Development in association with Leeds Fertility at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

The programme leader is John Huntriss. Course lecturers include staff from the University of Leeds, Bourn Hall Clinic in Cambridge, Leeds Centre for Reproductive Medicine, University College London and the University of Sheffield.

You can also study this subject at Masters level (distance learning).

(In view of the current COVID-19 pandemic we will assess the situation with workshops closer to the time that they run and may need to replace the workshops in Leeds with online activities).
