Vision Science is a competitive program. Having the minimum requirements will not guarantee acceptance. Before an offer of admission can be made there must be a faculty member willing to act as supervisor. All applications are circulated to faculty members to find a supervisor conducting research in the area an applicant has indicated interest. Faculty members will consider an applicant's academic background, experience, interests and research potential when making an admission decision.
Masters of Science
The MSc program is open to graduates with at least a B standing in the last 2 years of:
- an Optometry or Vision Science program; or,
- an honours BSc (or BEng) (or equivalent) in an area relevant to the prosposed studies; or,
- an honors degree (or equivalent) in a health-related program; or,
- an honors degree (or equivalent) with additional training or experience in a relevant field.
Categories 2, 3, and 4 will be considered for admission on individual merit and will likely require a specific program designed to remedy deficiencies in the relevant Vision Sciences with appropriate core courses.
Doctorate
The PhD program is open to students holding an MSc (or equivalent) in an area relevant to the proposed program in Vision Science.
International Degrees
