This Master's Degree offers a high degree of specialization in Biology and Reproductive Technology. It also has a distinct professional approach that will allow students to apply to more specialized jobs. This Master's Degree covers advanced theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as aspects that offer a comprehensive training to graduates in Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Biology, Biotechnology, Pharmacy or Nursing, providing students with the professional skills and capabilities that they need to succeed in an increasingly demanding labour market, in terms of qualifications and professional specialization. The high demand in assisted reproduction services has overwhelmed public hospitals whereas the private hospitals cannot meet the demands in the short term. Regarding the animal world, both in the stockbreeding sector and the conservation and protection of endangered species, whether wild or domestic, society increasingly demands the better use of resources, the conservation of the environment and an improvement in the sustainability of food supplies.

This Master's Programme consist of 60 ECTS credits divided in two terms. Students have to attend at least 80% of the classes in order to obtain the degree.
