Education
The Institute for Women's Health has a strong programme of teaching at both undergraduate and graduate level and is a recognized centre for graduate clinical training.
We organise a major course module in Women’s Health and Communicable Diseases for approximately 400 undergraduate students each academic year within Phase 2 (Year 4) of the UCL medical curriculum as well as contributing to intercalated BSc’s and running SSCs (Student Selected Components).
Graduate education at the Institute is provided through:
- Graduate Taught Programmes: an MSc in Prenatal Genetics and Fetal Medicine, an MSc in Reproductive Science and Women's Health and a distance learning MSc in Haemoglobinopathies with major international collaboration.
- Graduate Research Programmes: our research groups, of international reputation in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Women’s Health, and Maternal and Child Health, provide a range of graduate research opportunities in these fields.
- Clinical Graduate Training: the Institute is a recognized centre for clinical postgraduate training across the breadth of Women’s Health and we have RCOG approved sub-specialty training posts in women’s cancer, reproductive medicine, urogynaecology, and in fetal and maternal medicine. We are accredited for sub-specialty training in gynaecological oncology with the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology and have many visitors from Europe for training.
