Course Overview

As our Optometry degree is fully accredited by the General Optical Council, you can join The College of Optometrists scheme for registration once you graduate. Once youre a registered optometrist, you could go on to work in your own practice, a hospital, or an international optical company. You could also take the first step towards becoming an academic or a researcher with our postgraduate research degree. Take advantage of our Alumni Scholarship and get a discount on your fees. For students who complete their first year of BOptom Optometry to an exceptionally high standard, there may be the opportunity to transfer to Year 1 of MBChB Medicine. We encourage your interest in studying medicine, but it should be noted that this is a highly competitive route and there is limited availability.
