2-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Optometry

Program Description

If students have finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree.

BSc(Hons) Optometry is a specialist bachelor's degree that will give students the in-depth academic and practical grounding they need to go into their pre-registration year as a trainee optometrist. With a balanced mix of theory and placement experience in Year one and Year two, and a clinic placement at a hospital eye service in Final year, they'll be set up with the skills, knowledge and hands-on experience they need to move forward confidently into this thriving profession.

Benefit from maximum contact time with patients from year one and onwards, with extensive clinical experience at our onsite clinic at the University, and external placements each year with a wide range of employers. Gain real-world experience with varied placement opportunities, such as involvement in hospitals, high street practices, lens manufacturers or optical laboratories.
