UK Ophthalmology Courses

Introduction to Ophthalmology 

An ophthalmologist deals with the physiology, anatomy and any illnesses or diseases that may affect the eye. At undergraduate level, students will learn through theoretical and practical practice, with clinical placements taking place throughout the degree at eye hospitals and clinics.

At postgraduate level, programmes such as the Ophthalmology MSc at University College London see provide students “with a deeper theoretical and contextual knowledge to allow students to develop their clinical decision making skills in subspecialty areas and plan coherent next steps and further specialist study”.
