    Faculty of Life Sciences Programme Specification Programme title: BSc (Hons) Optometry (Accelerated Route) Academic Year: 2018/19 Degree Awarding Body: University of Bradford Final and interim award(s): BSc (Honours) [Framework for Higher Education BSc (Hons) Vision Science [for Qualification Level 6] students gaining an award Diploma of Higher Education [Framework for but who do not meet the Higher Education Qualifications level 5] Clinical Competence requirements for GOC] Certificate of Higher Education [Framework for Higher Education Qualifications level 4] Programme accredited by (if General Optical Council (GOC) appropriate): Programme duration: 16 weeks part-time and 45 weeks full-time QAA Subject benchmark Optometry (2015) statement(s): Date of Senate Approval: Date last confirmed and/or December 2015 minor modification approved by Faculty Board Introduction Optometrists are healthcare professionals whose primary role involves measurement and optical correction of sight defects (refractive errors), and detection and recognition of ocular disease and dysfunction. Optometrists are trained to supply and fit (dispense) optical appliances such as spectacles, contact lenses and low vision aids. Optometrists are also trained to undertake assessment of binocular vision and to diagnose and manage (non-pathological) binocular vision anomalies. In the United Kingdom (UK), the optometry profession is the largest provider of primary eye care, and is responsible for a significant proportion of ophthalmic referrals to the secondary care sector. Many of these referrals are of patients with sight-threatening conditions, including cataract, glaucoma, hypertension and diabetes. The overall aim of the accelerated degree programme in optometry is to build upon the student’s previous experience as a dispensing optician in order to allow a student to carry out all the functions described above, to communicate skilfully and knowledgeably with patients and other professionals, and to uphold high standards of professional integrity and behaviour.

  • Classifying Educational Programmes
    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.

  • University of Aberdeen
    University of Aberdeen About the Department of Geography and Environment Geography at Aberdeen runs a modular system, so you have the flexibility to follow a Single Honours Degree with plenty of choice and diversity, or to study Geography as part of a Joint Honours Degree with another subject. To a large extent you can shape your own degree, to suit your particular interests and career plans. You can choose between studying Geography as either a Bachelor of Science (BSc) or Master of Arts (MA) degree programme. Both can be taken as four-year Honours degrees, or three-year Designated degree programmes. The main difference between the BSc and MA programmes is in the subsidiary subjects taken alongside Geography. For the BSc these will be mainly science subjects, while MA students will take subsidiary courses in the humanities and social sciences. All of our teaching is research-led, delivered by staff who are actively investigating some of the most important problems facing the world today – problems with social and environmental dimensions which geographical knowledge can help us understand and resolve. This ensures that our courses are current, exciting and reflect the cutting edge of Geographical Research. Need more reasons to study Geography at Aberdeen? Our graduates have an excellent record of going on to successful Careers beyond university. Our students and staff run a vibrant Geography Society, with regular events all year including the legendary Annual Geography Ball. And all of this is hosted within the University of Aberdeen's King's Campus, with its beautiful historic buildings and state-of-the-art facilities, including the New Library and Olympic Standard Sports Village.
