Plymouth don't offer a masters degree in optometry... Does anyone know if there's anywhere I can go after to do a masters? And is it worth doing? thank you!

Places are very competitive! We actually closed a day after clearing so it was really popular!
Our Optometry degree combines theory, research, science and clinical practice from year one. Across all 4 years students will focus on achieving parallel success: as a professional clinician and as a scientist. The programme integrates the pre-registration period within this 4 year masters programme, meaning that upon completion of your degree you will be a fully registered Optometrist (with the opportunity for GOC membership!). We also have a brand new simulation suite including dedicated optometry practice cubicles for everyone to use.
In terms of grades we require at least 340 UCAS points (AAB) including 2 A levels from a science subject.
Hope this helps, do let us know if you have any more questions
Best wishes,
Rosanna University of Hertfordshire
Hi Rosanna, I'm consider Hertfordshire this year for Optometry, I see on the website it says that you accept Access to HE courses in Science. I was wondering what the average expected results are for that? Thanks in advance
I've had a quick scan through this thread and I'm happy to see a few of you are considering Optometry at the University of Bradford. If any of you have any specific queries relating to our course, University or even City please do get in touch. I'm also more than happy to provide information and advice relating to the UCAS application process
Hi I am planning on firming Bradford if offered the place. When do you starting sending out offers? Whats your policy on resits?
Congratulations!! Have you received any other offers/interviews?
Thanks and just Anglia Ruskin! Cardiff and Manchester sent me an email saying they're considering my application. Haven't heard anything from Aston though! What about you?

I applied early on last year and Aston and Cardiff took the longest to respond, Cardiff being the last of the lot. I've applied to Aston again this year and the wait is killing me already haha

That sounds quite similar to me. I have had an offer from Anglia Ruskin and an interview for Manchester but haven't heard from Aston

Congrats! I have been invited to an interview next week too at Hertfordshire University! The only thing is, it's a 2 hour slot and I'm not sure what type of interview it will be. Do you have any idea?

What's the optometry quiz ? Will it affect our chances in getting in if we don't do as well?

Awesome, good luck!! Mines at 2pm, when's yours?! And yeah, I think it's a 1 hour group interview where you'll be asked about your interest in optomery and skills you need. I hope it's not too formal though! And then the next hour, you get to look around and meet the optometry staff.

Is the 20 points given regardless of the outcome of the quiz? Will applicants be considered depending on the outcome of the quiz? Thanks
