The Department of Optometry provides a series of subjects in visual and optical science for BSc students. The visual science subjects aim to provide students with a thorough knowledge of the eye and visual performance together with an understanding of the physiological processes underlying vision. The subjects in optical science aim to provide an understanding of optical systems and the ability to analyse the performance of optical systems, as well as the ability to develop designs for optical systems to specified performance criteria.
The subjects available to BSc students are:
The Department also provides subjects in visual science and in clinical optometry which are a part of the four year course in optometry. These subjects are not available to BSc students. However, BSc students who have completed the BSc subjects in visual and optical science and who are subsequently admitted to the optometry course may obtain credit for the equivalent subjects in the optometry course.
The clinical (fourth) year of the BOptom course has 32 weeks. The Department will advise students of the precise dates.
