About this course

Biomedical scientists work at the cutting edge of research and medicine, helping to solve some of the most threatening diseases and conditions facing mankind.

This Reproduction and Development specialist pathway - one of few of its kind in the UK - focuses on the science behind reproduction, embryo formation and fetal development. Studying the interplay between genes and physiology during these processes and the complications that can arise, your research will seek solutions to improve fertility, and identify, treat or manage birth defects.

You will learn about the genetic basis of birth defects and the underlying molecular mechanisms, which will allow improved diagnosis, genetic screening and counselling for the affected families. You will also learn about events during early pregnancy when the placenta forms, disruptions of which results in pregnancy disorders, such as pre-eclampsia.

Careers

The course provides excellent preparation for PhD study, which around a fifth of our students complete here at St George’s or elsewhere, and this can lead to a research career within academia or pharmaceutical industry.

Alternatively, on completion, you could pursue a career in the biomedical and medical sector in roles where some research background is required but not necessarily at PhD level. This may include job opportunities as research support staff, technicians, medical laboratory assistants, specialist services provision, equipment operators and laboratory management.

This course is also effective in accelerating the development of your career in healthcare and NHS.
