Start with a Bachelor of Biomedicine or a Bachelor of Science and study biological sciences, then complete the Doctor of Optometry to qualify as a professionally accredited optometrist.
First you must meet the entry requirements for your undergraduate degree.
The Doctor of Optometry also has specific prerequisite and grade entry requirements to be considered for entry. Specifically, you must complete three subjects from one of more relevant biological science disciplines at a second and third year level. Students applying for standard entry must also complete the Graduate Australian Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT).
The University also offers guaranteed entry to high–achieving domestic and international students who have completed an Australian Year 12 or the IB in Australia based on your ATAR.
