Where are they now?

We actively try to keep in touch with our graduates to monitor how our MSc course may have influenced their career progression. We're continually updating this page, so please keep checking back for the latest information.

Since 2008, a total of 141 students have graduated from the course, of whom 27 have obtained a ‘Distinction’. Analysis of our graduate destinations for cohorts 1-9 (2008-2016) shows 32% hold positions in embryology (either as Laboratory Director, Trainee Embryologist or Andrologist), 29% continued with a PhD or hold a research position, 26% have either begun training as a clinician or returned to medicine, and 13% have ventured into other fields. Fourteen of our graduates have registered for DPhil degrees with the department and of these, six have attracted funding from the Clarendon Scholarship Scheme.
