Overview
The Advanced Audiology - Audiovestibular Medicine program from University College London (UCL) aims to ensure that graduates are scientifically literate at postgraduate level as well as clinically competent in medical otology and audiology.
Why study this degree at UCL?
The UCL Ear Institute is one of the largest and most broad-based academic unit for research into hearing and deafness in the UK, allowing students to benefit from the range of clinical and research expertise among its staff. The associated Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital houses the largest clinical audiology unit in the country.
The MSc programme is designed for practising professionals. A significant number of the optional modules are taught as Masterclasses (three to five-day short courses) followed by tutorials and assessments. This allows students who continue to work part-time significant flexibility in how they structure their MSc programme.
