The PhD at the Bradford School of Optometry and Vision Science encompasses multidisciplinary research using a variety of techniques in the following areas: • Basic visual processing and perception • Visual development and myopia • Ocular imaging • Age-related eye disease • Clinical optometry including service delivery/evaluation, contact lenses and refraction • Vision-related effects on quality of life and daily activities Research in the School is commonly carried out in collaboration with external organisations in industry and the NHS, as well as the Digital Health Enterprise Zone and Wolfson Centre for Applied Health Research. We welcome applications for postgraduate research degrees all year round, including applications to study full or part-time. We will consider alternative starting dates when the timing doesn't fit with our two enrolment intake dates: October and February.
Faculty research is very important and recruitment of high-quality postgraduate research students is a key part of the Faculty of Life Sciences strategic plan. Typical applicants would hold a minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree or postgraduate qualification in optometry, psychology, orthoptics, medicine, statistics, or another related discipline. Selection of PGR students will be subject to successful interview (either in person or by video or conference call) by the supervisory team and one independent member of academic staff with significant PGR supervisory experience.
