Human Clinical Embryology and Assisted Conception MSc

University of Dundee

Human clinical embryology studies human fertilisation and the development of embryos. It focuses on assisted reproductive technology (ART) to help people with infertility conceive. Infertility is a global problem. Around 80 million people worldwide have been diagnosed as infertile. Demand for ART is increasing, and opportunities for careers in this field are growing. This master's course gives you a robust education in embryology, andrology, and ART. It looks at all this from a clinical, research, and laboratory perspective. The emphasis is on humans, and the course offers practical lab experience. You'll get access to clinics in a real Assisted Conception Unit (ACU) in Ninewells Hospital. This means you can follow real patients through their fertility journey. You'll also shadow experienced embryologists in the lab. This helps you deliver the most advanced medical care to patients with infertility. This course also gives you opportunities to learn how to develop innovative business ideas in reproductive medicine. Our applicants often have a background in medicine, science, nursing, midwifery, or psychology.
