Master’s Degree (MSc / MA / MPH)Start Date
Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, NovProgramme Overview
The MSc in Sexual and Reproductive Medicine, delivered online by Learna (Diploma MSc) and validated by the University of South Wales (USW), provides an outstanding, specialized postgraduate degree designed to equip clinicians and healthcare professionals with advanced clinical expertise in reproductive endocrinology, fertility management, and sexual health care. The University of South Wales is a modern, industry-focused British university ranked best in the UK for Health Professions in the Guardian University Guide 2020 and top 10 for Health Studies in the Complete University Guide 2022. Developed in close alignment with the guidelines of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), this 2-year part-time master's programme delivers a compelling Caribbean-focused value proposition: it brings globally respected British medical training directly to regional practitioners, allowing them to gain master’s-level clinical competencies completely online while continuing to treat patients in local hospitals, health centers, and private practices.
For Caribbean health professionals, this degree directly responds to an escalating demand across small island developing states for comprehensive fertility, endocrine, and sexual health services. Across the region, healthcare providers are encountering rising rates of reproductive conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, uterine fibroids, male-factor infertility, and sexual dysfunction—alongside an increasing patient demand for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IVF. Because dedicated fertility specialists and reproductive endocrinologists remain concentrated in select capital centers, frontline general practitioners, obstetricians, gynaecologists, family medicine doctors, midwives, and fertility nurses serve as essential care providers. This master’s programme empowers Caribbean healthcare workers to accurately evaluate endocrine imbalances, guide evidence-based fertility management pathways, implement modern contraceptive and sexual health protocols, and deliver compassionate, culturally sensitive care to individuals and couples across the Caribbean.

Programme Highlights
This foundational module explores the anatomical, physiological, and neuro-endocrine frameworks governing human sexual function and reproduction. Learners analyze gametogenesis, hormonal feedback loops, sexual response cycles, and the physiological mechanisms underlying male and female sexual dysfunction, establishing a solid baseline for advanced diagnostic decision-making.
Focusing on subfertility and infertility, this module examines the underlying pathophysiologies of reproductive impairment. Key topics include evaluating tubal factor infertility, anovulation, endometriosis, PCOS,varicocele, and abnormal semen parameters, enabling practitioners to structure systematic, evidence-based diagnostic workups for couples experiencing difficulty conceiving.
This module delves into the intricate intersection of general endocrinology and reproductive health. Students examine how metabolic and endocrine diseases—such as thyroid dysfunction, hyperprolactinemia, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and diabetes mellitus—impact fertility, menstrual regularity, pregnancy outcomes, and long-term reproductive wellness.
Centered on therapeutic interventions, this module covers the spectrum of modern fertility treatments from ovulation induction to advanced ART protocols. Learners analyze intra-uterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT), and the management of complications such as Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS).
This module addresses comprehensive sexual health delivery, family planning, and infection control. Content covers modern contraceptive choices, emergency contraception, barrier methods, and the clinical diagnosis and management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), emphasizing preventive care and patient empowerment.
Recognizing the complex social and moral dimensions of reproductive care, this module explores the ethical, legal, and psychological aspects of fertility and sexual medicine. Learners evaluate third-party reproduction (surrogacy and donor conception), fertility preservation, reproductive rights, informed consent, and the emotional support required by patients navigating fertility journeys.
In the final year, MSc candidates execute an independent professional research project on a self-selected topic within sexual and reproductive medicine. Guided by expert academic tutors, students refine research methodologies, critical appraisal techniques, and scientific writing skills to produce a publishable-quality dissertation that contributes directly to clinical practice or regional reproductive healthcare service enhancement.
