Transfering into B Optometry/ B science @ UNSW (1 Viewer)

[MagnificentOne]

Would this transfer be possible?

If so, what courses must I take prior to this transfer?

Is it difficult to transfer from various courses?

Would there be any needed requirements need? If so, what?

Sorry for all the above questions, but I'm really eager to get into this course mainly due to interest + the $.


Cheers.

I believe you need UMAT

I believe you need UMAT

I do realise UMAT is required and I haven't done it this year.
Would it be possible to do it next year?

Take a gap year, if need be.

well, u can just do a science degree and do the vision science plan, so you'd take the courses u'd need in first year optom/science.
Here's the vision science, http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/plans/2012/VISNA13970.html
and here's optom/science http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2012/3952.html
so as u can see, the first year subjects are the same.

and apparently, u cant do an internal program transfer into optom, https://my.unsw.edu.au/student/academiclife/program_transfer/program_trans_Sci.html
so you'd have to apply from UAC i think?? so just make sure u get a decent atar/first year marks and umat
