You will study the requirements for reproduction, including the production of sufficient numbers of viable gametes, fertilisation, implantation in a receptive uterus, formation of a placenta that can sustain and nurture a baby, and delivery at full term.

Advances in this field have provided the knowledge for assisted conception and revolutionised reproductive medicine and veterinary practice.
