Information Evening for UCL Institute of Ophthalmology

If so, we would like to invite you to attend our UCL Institute of Ophthalmology Information Evening on Wednesday 30 May 2018, from 5.30 - 8pm.  

This is a great opportunity to:

• Meet academic staff to find out about how we involve students in the research process and the creation of new knowledge; 
• Discuss the latest thinking in Ophthalmology;
• Learn about the clinical experience that takes place in Moorfields Eye Hospital;
• Talk to current students about their experiences, what they have learned and their plans for the future;
• Learn more about being a student at UCL.

The UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, ranked the best place in the world to study ophthalmology (2017 Centre for World University Rankings), offers a range of postgraduate taught clinical and non-clinical programmes for nurses, medics, optometrists and biomedical science graduates. In 2015/16, 100% of postgraduate taught and postgraduate research students were in graduate level jobs within six months of graduating from the Institute (DLHE survey, undertaken by HESA).

The Information Evening provides a great opportunity to find out more about what we offer and ask any questions you may have.
