That means that once you graduate, you’ll be a fully registered optometrist.
During your degree, you’ll have access to the latest specialist laboratories, equipment and simulation facilities, and take part in innovative methods of learning that embed evidence-based practice and knowledge.
Work experience is a vital part of the course, and you’ll have placements in hospitals and community practice, getting a taste of different career paths.
