Course Overview

The Degree Project for Master's Degree (60 credits) in Optometry is a 15-credit course that aims to develop students' ability to plan, conduct, and present a scientific study in optometry.

Course Description

The course is designed for students who want to take a master's degree in clinical optometry by completing a degree project. During the course, students will develop their ability to independently plan, conduct, and present a scientific study in optometry. They will also develop their ability to critically examine, analyze, and discuss scientific work.

Course Objectives

After completing the course, students will be able to:

• Identify and formulate research questions, plan, conduct, and present a scientific study in optometry

• Show insight into current research and development work and knowledge of the relationship between science and proven experience and its significance for professional practice
• Describe different research methods in theoretical and clinical optometric research and related research

Course Content

The degree project is based to a large extent on the students' own initiatives and independent work. The student will, under supervision, conduct a descriptive or experimental study, including all stages of the research process: literature searches, project planning, research questions, data collection, data processing, interpretation, and presentation. The thesis is written individually or in pairs with another student on the course.
