Opleiding: MSc Biomedical Science (Obstetric and Gynaecological Science)
Learning purpose
The Biomedical Science (Obstetric and Gynaecological Science) Masters at Middlesex in Londonis suitable for a range of health professionals with an interest in reproductive medicine, where they can develop the skills needed for career progression as part of the NHS 'Agenda for Change' initiative.
Programme
You will develop practical, methodological and analytical skills for biomedical research and explore current international research in reproductive biology. The course has a high laboratory-based practical component where you can apply theoretical knowledge to practical experimentation. You will also have the chance to be involved in internationally recognised clinical research.
The course covers research methodology and analytical techniques; legal requirements and ethical issues in reproductive biology; reproductive physiology and functional anatomy; control and maintenance of pregnancy; assisted reproduction; and diagnosis of reproductive and pregnancy disease.
This programme is based at our flagship Hendon campus.
We use a range of assessment methods including written coursework, exams and the use of e-learning.
- Molecular and Cellular Biology (30 Credits) - Compulsory
- The module aims to provide an introduction to the study of cells including the structures processes, and communication within and between cells. The module will focus on nucleic acids and protein synthesis. It also concentrates on the patterns of inheritance of disease in humans. In addition it will provide instruction, skills development and hands-on experience in the application of current molecular techniques.
- Obstetrics and Gynaecology (60 Credits) - Compulsory
- The module aims to provide students with a detailed understanding of the function of the male and female reproductive systems and the role of the endocrine system in their regulation. This module will also focus on the specific endocrinological, physiological and biochemical changes during pregnancy and will also provide a background of the the technologies of assisted reproduction.
- Research Methods and Ethics for Biomedical Sciences (30 Credits) - Compulsory
- The module aims to provide a firm foundation in risk assessment, experimental design, analysis and analytical techniquies. It prepares students for laboratory work and research projects by covering areas of laboratory safety and common techniquies. The learning will be supported by ethical issues relating to biomedical science research by exploring the use of human tissues, manipulation of genetic material, genetic testing and cloning.
- Research Project (60 Credits) - Compulsory
Entry Requirements
Preferably a second class honours degree or above in Biological Science, however applications will be judged on an individual basis. Admission is subject to interview.
