Yes - it is delivered fully in English. English-medium schooling or an IELTS/TOEFL score (around 6.5) usually satisfies the language requirement.

No. Clinical specialisation - cardiology, surgery, radiology, psychiatry, paediatrics and the rest - is achieved through specialist (residency) training in hospital training posts, governed by the national medical council, not through a taught master's. This taught master's degree builds research and academic expertise in ophthalmology and related fields; it does not grant a licence to practise as a specialist. For clinical specialisation, most Indian doctors train in India via NEET-PG.

A UK one-year taught master's runs roughly £25,000-£47,000 for international students, depending on the university and subject - science and clinical MScs at Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial and UCL sit at the top, while many strong civic universities are around £28,000-£36,000.
