Overview

You will undertake two interrelated research projects on a specific topic in reproduction and pregnancy, alongside taught units providing up-to-date knowledge of reproduction and pregnancy and training in research skills. You do not need any prior research experience before starting the course.

The Reproduction and Pregnancy (Research) programme offered at The University of Manchester will give you hands-on experience of cutting-edge technologies applicable to reproduction and pregnancy, and transferable to other areas of medical research.

You will also gain training and experience in scientific writing and developing a research proposal and receive a grounding in a wide range of reproductive medicine and pregnancy-related issues by attending seminars in the Maternal and Fetal Health Research Centre.

Career opportunities

The MSc graduates have continued their scientific or medical careers in the following areas.

PhD research - 60% of home science graduates and 40% of our international graduates go on to conduct further research.

Clinical training - Through the O&G and Academic pathways (Academic Foundation and Academic Clinical Fellows (ACF)).

Other clinical/science professions - eg NHS Scientists Training Programme (Embryology/Andrology), MBChB, midwifery, journal publishing and biotechnology.

Many of the students have remained in the Maternal and Fetal Health Research Centre to undertake PhD study or as research assistants. We keep in contact with our alumni and invite past students back to the centre for annual welcome events.
