UCL Institute for Women's Health brings together the expertise of clinicians and researchers from a diverse range of disciplines so that they can deliver excellence and innovation in research and clinical practice. This new MRes gives you the opportunity to take a programme with greater emphasis on research skills and experience, and on development of transferable academic and professional skills. You will choose taught modules and select research areas from a variety of subjects across reproductive science and women's health, spanning the four themes of the institute: maternal and fetal health; neonatology; women’s cancer; and reproductive health. You will learn how to conduct an independent research project, as well as gaining practical experience and theoretical understanding in research methodologies and critical analysis.

The first cohort of students on this programme will graduate in 2018. We expect the programme to prepare science-orientated students to go on to further research. Medically-orientated students may wish to develop their careers in the field of reproductive science and women’s health or undertake further research.

The programme provides you with an excellent introduction to research. It will equip you with the general and scientific skills required to embark on careers in research and related fields.
