The Master of Optometry is an advanced postgraduate program that equips students with cutting-edge expertise in evidence-based optometry and vision science. Participants will enhance their professional capabilities across diverse specialties such as contact lens practice, sensory neuroscience, myopia management, community eye care, business strategies, and public health initiatives. The curriculum employs varied instructional approaches tailored to both emerging and experienced practitioners who possess an undergraduate optometry qualification or equivalent.
Learners can choose up to 18 units of credit from specialized electives offered by UNSW's Business School (Management/Marketing) and School of Population Health (Public Health). Business-focused options deliver essential training to strengthen managerial competencies and marketing acumen in today's dynamic economic environment. Public health courses enable students to expand their optometric expertise into wider healthcare contexts through research methodologies and clinical applications.
This rigorous Master's program targets current optometry professionals and does not fulfill the fundamental clinical requirements for Australian optometric registration.
