What things did you put in your personal statement? For example did you put about work experience, if so how did you arrange this? Also, did you do super curricular activities like further reading and did you mention that in your personal statement?

They dont care about students, you complain but always in staffs favour. you get no placement year either so no experience.

they have their own eye clinic but you do see patients. they get people from public there. there are no full time external placements

is this with regards to an exam/assignment? they may have acted that way due to the provisional goc approval which they achieved

Did you do the foundation year ( science extended degree) or did you directly get in via A-levels?

other optom courses like bradford operate similarly to huddersfield in terms of hospital placements in 3rd year. i dont think optom as a course is one that offers full time placements like that tbh.
