The great development of assisted human reproduction techniques in recent years has provided a wide range of therapeutic solutions to treat numerous infertility problems that affect approximately 15% of the population. This great expansion of assisted reproduction has, in turn, led to the need for training programs that allow professionals to update their knowledge by incorporating the latest technology and the most effective procedures both in the laboratory and in the clinic.
The annual Master’s Degree in Reproductive Biology and Assisted Human Reproduction Techniques was born in 1997 and was the first Spanish university master’s degree focused on this subject. Since then, numerous applications have been received each year, and among them the students who will take the master’s degree in our facilities (laboratories and consultations) are selected. The training is exclusive, and the work groups are very small, so places are limited and applications must undergo a strict selection process.
Department of Cellular Biology, Physiology, and Immunology of Universitat Autònoma of Barcelona and Reproductive Medicine Service of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Reproduction Department of Dexeus Mujer- Hospital Universitari Dexeus.
There are 16 places on offer, of which 10 take the theory classes and work experience in Barcelona and 4 take the theory classes in Barcelona and work experience in collaborating centres abroad.
The Master’s Degree will take place from September 2025 to September 2026.
Theoretical modules: from September to December 2025 at the facilities of Dexeus Mujer, Barcelona.
Practical modules: from January to June 2026.
The Master’s Degree theory classes and sessions will be taught in Spanish, Catalan andEnglish.
The UAB offers free Catalan courses for students who require it.
The great experimental development in Assisted Reproduction Techniques in recent years has made it necessary to create specific training programmes for future professionals in this field.
The main objective of this master’s degree is to provide specialised and regulated training in assisted human reproduction techniques to graduates in biology, biochemistry, biotechnology and other biomedical sciences, providing them with the theoretical and practical knowledge they need to be able to work as embryologists in an assisted reproduction centre.
The programme offers students basic and applied training in sterility and Assisted Human Reproduction Techniques.
The master’s degree is structured into basic and applied theoretical subjects, observational, tutored and hands-on practice in assisted reproduction laboratories (in vitro fertilisation, cryobiology, andrology and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis) and rotations in the different clinics of the Reproductive Medicine Department at Dexeus Mujer. The master’s degree also provides training in transversal competencies such as Bioethics, Legislation, Research, and Scientific Communication Techniques that provide students with a global and holistic vision of assisted human reproduction.
ECTS credits: 60
