Hi has anyone got an interview from Sheffield/liverpool?
What questions could they ask?
I thought Biology and Maths A level will be helpful for the course

What predicted grades are you applying with?

If you're applying to uni for Orthoptics for 2024 entry, introduce yourself to fellow applicants, ask questions and share your experience of applying so far:

What universities are you thinking of?
A level / BTEC / IB / Higher predicted grades
Extra curriculars

Please don't share details of interview questions on the forum - it gives those who follow you an unfair advantage.

@CamembertPaws FYI

Just make sure you know the difference between orthoptics and optometry and can explain their job role to a good extent and you’ll be fine!!

Have you had any interviews yet? I really recommend using Future learns orthoptics course so that you can really understand their job role properly, it really helped me prepare for my interviews!! Also, know the definitions of the nhs core valuess
