The programme provides a core grounding in basic and medical aspects of reproductive biology. It is taught through laboratory-based research projects alongside lecture modules and seminars delivered by internationally-recognised experts in the field, together with student-led small group tutorials.
Practical experience is gained by undertaking a two-week basic laboratory skills training course, followed by two 10-week mini research projects that are designed specifically to provide hands-on laboratory experience and training in a wide range of up-to-date techniques in molecular and cellular biology.
These are followed by a research proposal and a 20-week maxi project which enables a particular area of interest to be explored in more detail.
The Centre for Reproductive Health has links with other internationally recognised Research Centres on the same site, such as Inflammation Research, Cardiovascular Sciences and the newly formed Scottish Centre for Regenerative Medicine.
Together with the Veterinary School's Roslin Institute and the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, these centres of excellence provide related or joint research projects that many of our students are able to embark on during the course to help broaden their experience.
