Our PhD Embryology and Reproductive Sciences programme enables students to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Reproductive Sciences. Our aim is to establish a focused knowledge base and competencies using evidence-based practices in the reproductive clinical sciences. Researchers will be able to apply scientific methodology to independently investigate complex research problems that meet the ever-changing demands of assisted reproductive medicine. Candidates who has a master of science degree in one of the following areas: Clinical Embryology,Biology, Molecular Biology, Developmental Biology, Reproductive Sciences or Biochemistry. If you are an established clinical embryologist / andrologist with at least three years of embryology experience. Submit letters of support from employers indicating level of experience and willingness to allow applicant to perform research projects in their current position. Submit a letter of support from your employer, lab director or medical director stating that you will be allowed to conduct research either with us or where ever you are currently working as part of the PhD.
Post-graduation course eligibility criteria is meticulously designed, attracting candidates with a background in life sciences, ensuring a cohort with a strong foundation in biological sciences. The eligibility for M.Sc Clinical Embryology and Assisted Reproductive Technology is a BSc Biomedical Sciences/ Molecular Biology/ Biotechnology/ Microbiology/ Biochemistry/ Physiology/ Genetics/ Molecular Medicine/ Chemistry/ BPharm/ MBBS/ BMLT/ BDS or related science.
The course is for two years and organized on a semester basis (totally four semesters), consisting of a theory, practical courses and a project work/dissertation.
