We are petitioning for the right to receive 2 graduating certificates for the completion of our
1. Bachelor of Medical Science (Vision Science) and
2. The Master of Optometry
Currently, we are to receive only one certificate for the completion of 2 degrees.
The initial admission into Flinders University’s Optometry Degree only guarantees you entry into the Bachelor aspect of the degree. To make it into Masters degree is another requirement, which some students don’t make, or don’t wish to make. This allows them to graduate with their Bachelor of Medical Science (Vision Science) and receive a certificate for this completion. Students who have been successful in the admission to the Masters, complete an additional 2 years (including research time), and still only receive one certificate.
A Masters degree is granted at a postgraduate level, which indicates the successful completion of an undergraduate degree, to which a certificate of completion should be awarded.
Considering the two step process and format in completion of the Optometry degree, we are asking for recognition of these two separate entities by the award of two certificates.

Congratulations on completing your degree Nirasha. Best wishes for your future endeavours
So much money and time spent on both parts, they should definitely both be acknowledged on graduation day.
Two degrees equals two certificates. Simple as that.
Total madness. You earned both qualifications so why not have the certs to prove it.
Ridiculous that u do all the work and only get one piece of paper to show for it.
I think they should get 2 certificates for all their hard work!
Let’s get behind this!!
