Optometry Applicants 2023

Hi everyone,

Here are some questions I thought we could answer:

What Unis are you hoping to apply to?
What A-levels are you doing?
What are your predicted grades?
Are you applying to anything else apart from Optometry?
Why do you want to study Optometry?

I went to the University of Liverpool for Orthoptics, it was very interesting. How was Huddersfield?

I haven’t actually heard much about Bradford so I’ll have a look at that one. As for experience I did one week of work experience at specsavers and then they offered me a job as an optical assistant so I’ve been working there since :smile:

Hi I’m applying for optometry at Manchester, Bradford and Huddersfield. I’m still a bit iffy about Huddersfield because it’s new but as you may be able to tell I want to stay close to home, for my other 2 options I’m thinking either pharmacy of computer science/ software engineering
