学习理学硕士课程是致力于科学家专注于相关领域的兴趣或实践并获得高级资格的机会。授课的大师将为您提供所选领域的专业培训，而研究大师将与理学院的研究人员一起发展高级研究技能，其中许多人是该领域的主要贡献者。验光和视觉科学是对验光的研究，也是健康科学的坚实基础，以拥抱验光对社区的日益增长的作用。验光师在初级卫生保健，检查人群的眼睛并诊断视力问题（包括轻微的眼部感染）并提供治疗方面起着至关重要的作用。尽管验光研究是专业的，但我们也为您提供了基础和健康科学的坚实基础。这些技能使您能够跟上验光师在为社区提供终生眼保健
Studying for an MSc is an opportunity for committed scientists to focus on a relevant area of interest or practice and pursue an advanced qualification. While a taught masters will provide you with specialist training in your chosen field, a research masters will develop advanced research skills, working alongside Faculty of Science researchers many of whom are major contributors in their field. Most students enter an MSc following completion of a PGDipSci. You will need to complete 120 points (maximum of 160 points) in a specialisation within one year of full-time study or two years of part-time study (research masters) or four years of part-time study (taught masters). Not all specialisations offer both taught and research options. If you enter a MSc directly from an undergraduate degree you will need to complete 240 points (maximum of 280 points) in a specialisation in two years of full-time study or four years of part-time study (research masters) or six years of part-time study (taught masters). Not all specialisations offer both taught and research options.
