Bachelor
Vision Science is the study of the sensory processes that underlie vision, and the development and use of vision-related technologies. This degree is designed to develop scientists who can work within ophthalmic industries to develop new technologies, diagnostic instruments and patient care options.Through theoretical studies and direct training, you will graduate with a broad and deep understanding of the areas relevant to a career in vision science, such as optics, anatomy and functioning of the eye, eye disorders, clinical optometry, ocular therapy, sensation and perception and psychophysics. You will also learn about research design, methods and experimentation that can be applied in the field.Â
Applications for undergraduate study from domestic students (Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents, Australian permanent humanitarian visa holders and New Zealand citizens) are processed by the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).
