The combined Bachelor of Vision Science / Master of Clinical Optometry is a highly competitive degree at UNSW.
You will be assessed differently depending on how much tertiary study you have completed:
- If you have completed less than 0.75 FTE (full time equivalent or 36 units of credit) of tertiary study at the end of the year in which you apply, your eligibility for admission to a UNSW degree will revert to your most recent assessable qualification (e.g. HSC or equivalent).
- If you have completed a minimum of 0.75 FTE (full time equivalent or 36 units of credit) or more of tertiary study in a single degree, you will be assessed for admission based on 50% of your ATAR results (or equivalent) and 50% of your tertiary study results.
- If you have already completed an undergraduate (Bachelor) degree, you will be assessed for admission based on 50% of your ATAR results (or equivalent) and 50% of your tertiary study results.
