hi guys!
My academic situation is really confusing.
I am a year 12 student really passionate about studying Optometry at University, however, I don't have the correct qualifications to study an Optometry programme in 2024(which is when I join University).
I am currently studying BTEC National Applied Science, Psychology and Sociology.
Most Universities require two A-level Science subjects (biology/chemistry/physics/maths), even for their Foundation Years.
For this reason, I have decided I am willing to join a College to achieve these qualifications, however, I have many questions:
1. is it mandatory to do three levels in a college, even though i will have my previous A-levels(BTEC/Psych/Socio)
2. Approximately how long do your A-level Qualifications last for Uni?
3. Is there a better pathway to optometry?
I do have more questions and I will post them when I remember them, and I really appreciate anyone who may have answers/experience with anything I have discussed!
