Interested in studying orthoptics

Hi there I’m interested in study in orthoptics for 2026 entry after my a levels but I’m worried about it being competitive because there’s only 3 universities that offer it and I do not want to take a gap year. Any advice?

If you look at the Historical entry grades data on the UCAS page for each course, the offer rates are quite high (Liverpool 76%, Sheffield 68%) so it is not a competitive course.
