The flagship Ophthalmology MSc from the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Eye Hospital is ideal for medics, GPs and optometrists, and connects them to the most current clinical and research expertise. It can be studied both in-person and via distance learning.

Why study the Ophthalmology MSc?

Led by consultants and specialists at Moorfields Eye Hospital, our flagship Ophthalmology MSc programme provides a detailed study of specialist ophthalmological practice and research. The newly updated curriculum is based on research-driven innovation across ophthalmic specialities, including clinical management, translational research, digital technology and surgery.

You will have the opportunity to attend two weeks of ‘Enhancement Activities’ that will provide you with the opportunity to augment your knowledge by giving you the experience of the clinical and practical aspects of Ophthalmology, delivered predominantly face-to-face at Moorfields Eye Hospital and the Institute of Ophthalmology in London.

Students will receive cohesive training that will form a solid foundation for them as they move on to specialist ophthalmological practice and research. The programme is delivered primarily through lectures and seminars across terms one and two, in module teaching blocks. Term three consists mainly of the dissertation. Studying with the experts at two world-leading institutions means that you will develop your knowledge in the context of the latest advancements in the ophthalmic field.

The UCL Institute of Ophthalmology is world-leading for research and teaching in ophthalmology and biomedical science. We deliver advanced ophthalmic research and education in partnership with Moorfields Eye Hospital.

At the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology (IoO), we have a long-standing partnership with Moorfields Eye Hospital. Together, we represent the largest co-located site for eye research, education and care in the world.
