| Course description | Basic research in mammalian Reproductive Sciences continues to be applied within and indeed beyond the field to improve outcomes and solve problems in medicine, veterinary medicine and agriculture. Molecular, cellular, animal model and clinically-based research continues to provide new insights into reproductive mechanisms and systems. These have helped to improve outcomes in female and male fertility, and also during pregnancy for baby and mother, whilst establishing a range of powerful new techniques including assisted conception and production of transgenic animals and therapeutic cloning. This series of weekly lectures, and linked tutorials covers in depth a broad spectrum of the mechanisms, systems, models, clinical applications, advances and issues within the Reproductive Sciences field. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The course is made up of a series of weekly lectures and linked tutorials that will provide up-to-date insight across a broad spectrum of the Reproductive Sciences field. By the end of this course you will be able to:
- Critically view the fundamental processes that underpin the varied events occurring in reproductive tissues and for the success and control of male and female reproduction.
- Critically appraise research findings arising from studies using a wide range of methodological tools relevant across the Reproductive Sciences
- Apply your understanding between basic research and clinical applications in this field
