!!!physics In Optometry Courses!!!
Hi
I Am Set To Do Optometry At Bradford University In 2007,what I Wanted To Know Was,i Have Only Done G.c.s.e Maths At Grade C, And A/s Level Physics At Grade E
Which I Kno Is Really Bad!
I Am Not Really A Maths Or Physics Man As I Dont Like The Advanced Thoeries And Calculations However My Heart Is Set On Optometry
I Am Good With The Biology And Cemistry Side Just I Think I Wil, Struggle On Te Physics!
What I Wanted To Kno Is How Much Physics Is There In Optometry?does It Vary On Different Courses I Heard Bradford Has The Least Physics Involved?
Thanks For Your Help
Regards

hi, I'm sorry, but some bad news, the physics and maths are pretty high level at all uni's. The Optics involved in the degree is at least higher A level plus extras in the first year and specializing certain areas. You also need good maths skills. Have you looked at what the unis ask for entry? they will mostly want ABB at least... and then only a few get in.

You will find it hard as all the courses have a great deal of maths and physics in them. Even my course, orthoptics, you have to know a great deal of maths and physics, which is something people don't realise coming into the course. A lot of people think, biology is the main one you need, when looking at eyes. But its more the physics as you need to know light inside out, back to front, and standing on your head.

i kno i heard its not as bad as some people make out!
if you worked hard for that "i Have Only Done G.c.s.e Maths At Grade C, And A/s Level Physics At Grade E" as you said, I am afraid you will not make the first year. Unless you know you can do better. You first have to be selected for the course though...............mmm Competition very stiff..
