Description Contents Requirements Funding

The MSc by Research in Obstetrics and Gynaecology offers a wide range of opportunities to carry out multidisciplinary research on important issues in human reproduction and applied basic science.

Graduates from the Nuffield Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology go on to further research in reproductive, biological, and biomedical science, assisted reproduction, as well as clinical academic work and industry.

Applicants are strongly advised to visit the Medical Sciences Graduate School website to help them identify the most suitable course and supervisors.

Research carried out in the Nuffield Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology encompasses a broad range of topics, with groups working on oocytes and sperm, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, genetic studies, molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying normal and aberrant reproductive function, immunology of pregnancy, gynaecological cancer, clinical studies in women's health and pregnancy and epidemiological and health services research.

You will be a member of your supervisor’s research group where you will be able to develop your research skills with one to one supervision. Your supervision team consists of your principal supervisor, a secondary supervisor (often a senior member of the research staff), the Director of Graduate Studies and a College Advisor. You will meet regularly with your primary supervisor to plan your research and review your progress. As well as carrying out your research project, you will also have the opportunity to attend a variety of skills training sessions and career planning events offered by the Medical Sciences Division.

Formal assessment of your progress will be carried out by external assessors through the Transfer of Status (term four) which has to be passed before you defend your thesis.

Applicants are normally expected to be predicted or have achieved a first-class or strong upper second-class undergraduate degree with honours (or equivalent international qualifications), as a minimum, in a subject related to biomedical science or a medical degree.

For applicants with a degree from the USA, the minimum GPA sought is 3.5 out of 4.0.

If you hold non-UK qualifications and wish to check how your qualifications match these requirements, you can contact the National Recognition Information Centre for the United Kingdom (UK NARIC).

You do not need a previous master's degree to apply to the course.

No Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or GMAT scores are sought.
