Hi I received an offer from manchester for optometry and i heard that they usually give interviews for different courses at manchester.
However, in my offer they haven’t specified anything and haven’t given me any info about a uni portal.

Hi! I also received an offer from Manchester for the Optom course 2025 as well. No interview either. If you have already received an offer I doubt you will have to do an interview as that is part of the application process that tries to narrow down the applicants that receive offers. Congrats on your place.

Yes, that is the plan currently. Though I haven’t done anything official yet. I got another email recently for an offer holder event day which I’m planning to go to on the 2nd of April. Have you seen anything like that?

Yeah, I got one a couple days ago- the March one seemed like the best day tho as I might be away in April, I still have to check, are you close to Manny or do you have to travel a bit?
