Tysm for your response. No I haven’t but I do have a good amount of knowledge on it as I have family members that do optometry. So by speaking to them I have learnt a lot and watched videos on it aswell

Hi there,

Congratulations on securing an interview to study optometry! 👏

While we can't speak for Plymouth, and every university is different in how they interview applicants, unis just want to know your understanding of the course and how your skills, qualities and experiences would be great for the role. Have a look through the course page, re-read your personal statement, and think about your future aims and aspirations. It's great to hear you're already watching videos and speaking to family members in the role - you're on the right track! 👍

You can actually check out this handy video with advice for a health-based interview - even though it's not specific for Plymouth, it should provide an idea on how you might prepare and what you might expect.

I hope this helps and best of luck!
G 😄
