Optometry at Teesside University

Hey!

Just wondering if there are any students that go to Teesside for Optometry, how are you guys finding it as I might put it as my choice to go.

How is the content, is it hard?
I’ve heard you need a 50% overall to qualify for the masters in MOptom, is this true?
Is the teaching good there?

Thank you 🙂
Hey!

It's great to hear you're thinking of studying optometry at Teesside!

If you check out this video you can hear all about the course from one of our lecturers and also find out how a current student is finding studying optometry at Teesside 😄

Wondering what a typical day in the life of an optometry student is like? Beth talks through her first semester as an optometry student at Teesside here.

In terms of passing the course, within each academic year you'll need a minimum of a pass in each module assessment before progressing onto the next stage of the course. But do not worry - your lecturers and course team will fully prepare you and are always there for any support.

Find out everything you need to know about the course here.

I hope that helps, and best of luck in your decision!

Thanks 🤗

Yeah, I study here, thats right!. You need 40% at minimum on every module for years 1-3. In final (4th) year, to pass each module it must be at minimum 50%. And to qualify, you must have an average of at least 55% across all modules and all must be passed with the minimum grade for that year. For example, you could get a few modules passed at around 40-50% in the first year, but at the end, as long as your average is 55% or higher, you're ok.
