Plan Outline

This plan is for a Graduate Diploma in Optometry (5665).

Plan Structure

The Graduate Diploma in Optometry program consists of courses from the selection of course in the GradCert in Optometry. Up to 12 UOC may be taken from elsewhere in the University, subject to approval of the Head of School. Courses comprise 3, 6 or 12 UOC, which count towards the total of 36 UOC required for this graduate award. A number of the courses have prerequisites, corequisites or exclusions, as indicated under the course descriptions for these courses.

On successful completion of the GradDip, the student may decide to continue with postgraduate study at the MOptom degree. Alternatively, if the GradDip is awarded, 30 UOC may be used in this way. Thus the postgraduate student may progress towards a higher degree at a level of their choice. This system is intended to make postgraduate study accessible to optometrists with time constraints.

Courses
Available courses are listed for the Graduate Certificate. Please refer to the entry for the Graduate Diploma in Optometry (5665).
