The MSc in Maternal and Fetal Medicine is designed for doctors, advanced specialist midwives or sonographers who want to deepen their expertise in maternal medicine and fetal medicine care. You’ll explore how medical conditions, fetal development and pregnancy physiology interact, while gaining practical insight into ultrasound and evidence-based management.

Taught entirely online, the course combines interactive lectures, clinical case discussions and peer learning.

Led by international experts from the University of Liverpool’s Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences and Liverpool Women’s Hospital NHS Foundation Trust — one of Europe’s leading centres for obstetric and perinatal medicine — this programme connects you to a global community of clinicians and researchers dedicated to improving outcomes for mothers and babies.

Through its flexible online structure, strong clinical partnerships, and research-informed teaching, the MSc develops the advanced knowledge, analytical capability, and leadership skills required for progression in maternal and fetal health worldwide. The curriculum aligns closely with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) advanced training curriculum in maternal and fetal medicine and supports clinicians working towards specialist or subspecialist training pathways, as well as experienced practitioners seeking to update and extend their expertise.

Flexible exit awards are available, allowing students to complete a Postgraduate Certificate (60 credits) or Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits) in Maternal and Fetal Medicine.
