Ophthalmology: University of Oxford

Research Programmes

• DPhil and MSc by Research in Ophthamology

The Department of Ophthalmology consists of the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology and the Oxford Eye Hospital, now based in research and clinical space in the new West Wing of the John Radcliffe Hospital.

The research of the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology spans visual neuroscience and circadian biology. There is a strong interest in non-image-forming irradiance detection systems and how these encode information to retinorecipient areas in the brain. The research in the Department spans from genes through to behaviour and employs a range of state-of-the-art techniques to place this information into a functional context.

Entry Requirements

Good undergraduate honours degree (minimum upper second-class or above) in Neuroscience or a related subject.
