Course summary
Optometry is a healthcare profession concerned with examination, diagnosis and treatment of the human visual system.In our aging population the demand for eye care is expected to increase, and optometrists are ideally placed to help meet this demand.The programme is based on both fundamental academic sciences as well as detailed clinical and practical studies. The emphasis is very much on the optometric service to patients.You will see patients in the University's own eye clinic, and attend local hospitals where you are instructed in the recognition and management of eye disease by senior ophthalmologists.Our three-year programme enables you to progress towards practising as a registered optometrist - you will need to complete a year's pre-registration training after graduation in order to do this.**Professional accreditation**This programme is accredited by the General Optical Council.**Rankings**We are ranked 7th in the UK for Optometry, Ophthalmology and Orthoptics in the Complete University Guide 2022.
