This comprehensive programme is based at UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (UCL GOS ICH). As a student, you will benefit from the unique position the institute occupies within UK paediatrics. We bring together strong links to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children with our setting within the powerful teaching and research environment of UCL.
With its inaugural year in 1986, originally as the MSc in Community Paediatrics, this postgraduate programme is part of the longest-running paediatric health MSc in London. We continually aim to improve it based on student feedback and changing demands within the Health Service and Academic sectors. Teaching takes place at the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (GOS ICH) in close collaboration with colleagues from Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Foundation Trust with lectures from national and international experts across most clinical and research areas.
You will gain an understanding of the principles of evidence-based paediatrics, and of the impact of molecular genomics on the diagnosis and management of the child and family. You will build an awareness of current and future developments in paediatric molecular biology and gain the skills necessary to critically appraise basic and clinical science that underpins treatment, and undertake independent research.
