This innovative blended learning programme will provide you with a comprehensive understanding and set of skills relevant to the exciting and important field of human reproduction and development. Please note, this programme is delivered mostly via distance learning, with a short period of time in Bristol (up to three weeks per year).

You will study fundamental systems, principles and processes, including the physiological basis and endocrine regulation of gamete formation, fertilisation, implantation and pregnancy.

You will learn from practicing clinical experts about the symptoms, causes, and mechanisms of reproductive disease and dysfunction, as well as the clinical management of infertility, assisted conception, pregnancy complications, and endocrine disorders. You’ll also explore cutting-edge academic and clinical research with internationally recognised researchers. Alongside this, you will develop research skills and be encouraged to think critically about the historical, social, political, and legal context of current issues in this fast-moving field.

Our interdisciplinary programme is designed to appeal to a wide range of postgraduate students.

A unique aspect of our programme is the combination of face-to-face teaching with web-based technology to support distance learning. Intensive teaching workshops are held online and in Bristol each year, delivered by expert academics, scientists and health professionals. These sessions include lectures, research seminars, group work, and practical overviews of lab methods and clinical practices. Workshop teaching is supported by innovative online materials, assignments, and activities that reinforce learning.

An interesting variety of assessment activities will enable you to showcase and enhance your understanding and transferrable skills. For example, creating posters, infographics and delivering presentations will showcase your ability to communicate complex information to healthcare professionals, patients, and research funders. Master's students will complete a research dissertation based on a focused topic in reproduction and development.

This programme is available as an intercalated degree for current undergraduate medicine, dentistry or veterinary students from the University of Bristol or other universities. Find out more about our intercalated degrees and eligibility criteria.
