This programme provides you with a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the field of reproductive science and women’s health. There is a strong focus on development of key skills and careers advice in the programme.
You will develop knowledge and understanding of the theoretical (including clinical) and laboratory aspects of reproductive science and women’s health. The eight compulsory modules will cover areas of basic genetics, fertility and infertility: science and society, female reproductive anatomy, physiology and pathology, pregnancy and childbirth, breast and reproductive cancers, prenatal diagnosis and screening, reproductive health, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis and developing technology.
You will also gain transferable skills including information technology skills, ability to analyse scientific papers, essay writing, seminar presentations, research techniques, peer review and laboratory skills.
Who this course is for
The programme is suitable for medical, science and nursing students who wish to gain a theoretical grounding in reproductive science and women’s health and develop the skills required by today’s science and clinical staff, working in academic and clinical environments.
To be eligible for registration, normally a candidate must have obtained a minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree in a relevant science-based discipline, or a medical qualification (MBBS) from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.

UCL offers a range of financial awards aimed at assisting both prospective and current students with their studies.
Throughout the programme you will learn key skills through peer-led activities, such as evaluating and presenting orally on patient cases and media coverage of scientific papers. You will learn how to write essays and patient case reports and how to critically evaluate papers. You will also have the opportunity to take part in debates and ethical discussions and to learn basic laboratory techniques. We offer a comprehensive careers programme involving our alumni covering general careers in science and specific advice on careers in embryology, clinical genetics, medicine and research degrees.
Employability
On completion of the programme, you will have gained knowledge of both the clinical and laboratory aspects of reproductive science and women’s health. This will enable the science-orientated students to go on to pursue research degrees, further training for careers in embryology, or other careers in the field or in general science. Medically-orientated students will be able to develop their careers in the field of reproductive science and women’s health.
