Course overview

The MSc in Clinical Embryology is a 24-month part-time distance-learning programme.

Embarking on the MSc in Clinical Embryology at the University of Leeds is the start of an exciting and rewarding journey. The programme commences with an introductory workshop in Leeds at the beginning of the first year allowing students to establish connections with their tutors, academic and support staff as well as their fellow students. These workshops serve to provide a comprehensive induction to the University's systems and facilities, and offers additional guidance sessions that will be integral to your success as a distance-learning student of the University of Leeds.

After the workshop, the programme's academic content is delivered online through the University鈥檚 virtual learning environment, MINERVA. To aid your independent study we provide you with access to our library of recorded lectures and electronic journals, as well as online module material and textbooks in our digital learning environment.

The majority of the programme operates asynchronously, offering significant flexibility for those balancing work commitments. A small number of synchronous online sessions are also scheduled throughout the course.

These are arranged at convenient times for students in diverse time zones. They will include drop-in sessions, tutorials, assessments, and presentations.

As this is a distance-learning programme, it does not offer practical training in clinical embryology, but it does provide the theoretical knowledge behind the techniques.

The course is structured in a series of sequential compulsory modules, each of which is released according to a specific timetable. This allows for a systematic progression through the course material. Through these modules you鈥檒l develop your knowledge of both the theory and practice of clinical embryology.
