B.Sc. - M.Sc. in Clinical Embryology &
Assisted Reproductive Technology

This Course Structure is Curated as per the NEP-2020 Guidelines

Course Overview

Clinical Embryology is a relatively young branch of reproductive science that has undergone enormous expansion over the last twenty years. Since then, infertility treatment has undergone phenomenal development and become a highly specialised field involving a multitude of interventions known collectively as Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). However, a major concern is that there are too few appropriately trained clinical embryologists to maintain this pattern of growth. Meticulous training of new personnel in theoretical knowledge and practical skills is therefore critical to future advancement and ensuring patients consistently receive the best care. In response to these concerns, MOMSOON Academy has developed programmes in Clinical Embryology & Assisted Reproductive Technology.

Clinical Embryology programmes provide students with theoretical and practical understanding of human reproductive biology, embryology, infertility and ART. The course includes the very latest developments in ART including legislation, ethics, and quality management.

Students will learn skills and techniques directly relevant to ART, as well as a range of ‘traditional’ and ‘cutting edge’ scientific techniques and procedures. A particular strength of our programme is the fact that each of our students will be individually trained in all practical aspects.

Our programmes will prepare students for active employment within the clinical embryology / ART sector and / or a research career in reproductive science. As the course was designed in response to identified employment needs, our graduates are likely to be highly sought after.
