Course Information

Train in a field that enables you to care for others by diagnosing and managing a wide range of ocular conditions and diseases. This degree will see you graduate as a qualified optometrist, as you learn about visual health issues and their impact on local and international levels.

Deakin’s Faculty of Health offers Australia’s first accelerated optometry course. You complete the five-year degree in just 3.5 years by studying three trimesters per year. Offered as a combined course, the Bachelor of Vision Science/Master of Optometry is unique in many ways. It has an emphasis on case and team-based learning; an extensive, fully-equipped clinical skills facility; industry partnerships; and a curriculum that delivers excellence across clinical, commercial and professional domains in optometry. Optometry encompasses far more than just testing eyes: It involves a complex interplay of inter-professional communication; management of self, others and potentially a business; and the applied understanding of principles of ethics, the law, public health, and professional and commercial practices. Deakin’s optometry program integrates all these elements into the curriculum from year two of the degree through to graduation. Throughout your pre-vocational studies you study elements from the health, medical and vision sciences, business and management disciplines
