WELCOME to the OSA Student Chapter of the University of Queensland.

The objectives of our student chapter are

  1. to enhance the quality of optics student life through the promotion of student community, student education and industrial contact.
  2. to promote optics within the university through undergraduate awareness, optics representation in student government and promotion of interdepartmental collaboration.
  3. to bring the university and industry together through education (i.e. seminars) and collaboration.
  4. to participate in community outreach in the form of Youth Science education, community education (i.e. university tours or lectures) and to promote the optics programmes at the University of Queensland to the optics community at large.

This website will give you an overview of what we are undertaking to further these objectives.

Donors / Sponsors welcome!

To successfully further our goals we need support to buy equipment as well as organize seminars and other activities. If YOU feel you want to assist with that, don’t hesitate to contact us.
