Official Orthoptics Applicants Thread 2026

Volunteer Section Leader, Clearing and Applications Advisor

If you're applying to university for Orthoptics for 2026 entry, this is the place to introduce yourself to fellow applicants, ask questions and share your experience of applying so far. :smile:

A few questions to start the conversation:

Are you applying to an undergraduate or postgraduate course?

Which universities are you hoping to apply for?

Work/shadowing experience?

Anything else?

Share as little or as much information as you are comfortable with. :yep:

Just a heads up that funding for healthcare courses and eligibility for the NHS Learning Support Fund differs based on where you normally live and where you want to study. Read the following thread before you apply:

Comparing funding for healthcare courses in England, Scotland and Wales

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