Full-time long cycle studies

(for more details of the programmes see directory website - in a language depending on the language of studies)

Optometry and Dispensing Optics

The Faculty of Physics is opening a new long cycle programme in the academic year 2025/26 - Optometry and Dispensing Optics. The studies last 5 years. After completing them, the graduate receives a master's degree.

During the studies, you will learn how a person sees, what optical disorders and diseases of the visual system can interfere with good vision and how to counteract them. You will learn how to conduct an optometric examination, use advanced measuring equipment and select the right correction in the form of glasses or contact lenses, as well as other visual aids, for example for people with low vision. Vocational subjects will be taught by teachers who are active optometrists. As part of your studies, you will complete over 1,000 hours of internships – some in simulated work conditions in laboratories at the Faculty of Physics, the rest in optical salons, optometric offices, and ophthalmological clinics. The knowledge you gain from the basics of mathematics and physics, as well as elements of biology and chemistry, medical and health sciences, and the use of statistical and computer tools will allow you to practice as an optometrist reliably and creatively. Optical salons, optometric offices, andmedical facilities specializing in eye care await graduates.
