Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
This course provides training in reproductive and developmental medicine for scientists, clinicians and those looking to specialise. It’s a good platform for a research career or a career in clinical laboratory training for IVF or embryology.
The course, taught by leading scientists, clinicians and embryologists, provides training in reproductive and developmental medicine for scientists, clinicians and others, for instance ethical advisers or lawyers looking to specialise. It’s a good platform for a research career or a career in clinical laboratory training for IVF or embryology.
Through the taught modules you’ll develop a solid understanding of reproductive science relevant to clinical applications. We cover the breadth of processes from gonadal development and production of gametes through to pregnancy and parturition. Each module is taught by leading scientists and clinicians in that field.
You’ll also have the opportunity to learn about the ethical issues and international laws regulating reproductive medicine. Finally, you’ll undertake a research project to develop a depth of knowledge in a specialist topic.
You’ll need a minimum of a 2:1 in a relevant life science undergraduate degree such as biochemistry, biology, genetics, molecular biology or a degree in veterinary science or medicine. A 2:2 degree may be acceptable depending on an interview and assessment of your past achievements.
Medical students can intercalate after completing three years of their medical degree.

After successfully completing their course, graduates have had the opportunity to find work in a wide variety of areas and industries:
Our graduates often use the course as a stepping stone towards further training and a career in clinical embryology or Andrology clinics, with a high proportion securing a place onto the very competitive Scientific Training Programme (STP).
For medical students, our masters provides an introduction to obstetrics and gynecology or for those who may be interested in sub-specialising in reproductive medicine and fertility treatment.
Our graduates now work in various fertility clinics around the UK, as well as National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), Springer Nature and Porterhouse Medical.
A selection of modules are available each year – some examples are below.
