课程概览
This masters programme is designed for orthoptists and other eye care professionals looking to advance their clinical knowledge and understanding in the specialist area of vision and strabismus. It is the only course on these topics that is taught entirely online, so you can fit your studies around your personal and professional commitments. Throughout the course you can select modules that focus on the topics that are most relevant to your clinical practice. You could choose to develop a detailed understanding of comitant and incomitant strabismus, examine diseases which affect ocular motility, study visual processing in detail or learn about the effects of stroke on vision. Optional modules cover research methods, assessing and managing low-vision children and adults, and the prescription and non-prescription medicines that orthoptists can use. In your final year you’ll work on an independent research project on an area of interest, either by collecting and analysing empirical data or conducting a literature based dissertation. Many of our graduates have gone on to publish their research, or build on their work to make improvements to patient care or service delivery. The programme is led by practising orthoptists, optometrists and eye care professionals, alongside world-leading researchers, who are experienced in supporting mature and distance learners. As well as the support of our teaching team, the course gives you the opportunity to connect with eye care practitioners from across the world, widening your professional network and enriching your clinical knowledge.
