I think the timetable could vary but currently year 1 placements are on a Monday every other week and for year 2 it is currently on a Wednesday every other week. For semester 1 you are placed in a high street opticians and semester 2 you'd be in a private practice (or you'd swap whichever was first). Optometry has a bright future and a great career prospects, especially in Teesside / North East because this is the first university to deliver an optometry programme. The staff work hard but because the programme is currently under provisional approval, it can be a bit overwhelming and disorganised but I think with time and a set number of student : staff ratio would help balance it all out. Unfortunately, the structure of the course constantly changes in line with GOC standards. If you want the module guide, you can request this from admissions if this is something they would be able to help with.
