Overview
Enrolment in a master's by research degree involves the independent investigation of a research problem that has been formulated by you as the student. It is expected that the research you undertake will make a contribution to the discipline in which you are enrolled by applying, critiquing, analysing or interpreting that knowledge in ways that facilitate pathways for further learning. You will be supported in your research by a supervisory team.
The course provides advanced theoretical understanding and research training in the applications and principles of reproductive biology and medicine, including emerging biotechnologies, to clinical human and veterinary medicine. It also offers knowledge and understanding of recent advances in reproductive technologies and their implications for professionals in various fields.
Graduates obtain suitable training for those concerned with:
- research and development projects involving reproduction
- IVF programs
- medical and paramedical areas
- development and implementation of policy on reproductive and population issues
- developing areas of agriculture and veterinary science where skills in new reproductive technologies are assuming considerable importance
- biological areas such as wildlife conservation, pest control and preservation of endangered species.
This course is offered by the Education Program in Reproduction and Development within the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences. Students should contact the course coordinator to discuss research topics and relevant supervisors.
