At DMU, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality programmes with an excellent student experience at the heart of what we offer. As with all new programmes, this course is currently progressing through the university’s validation process, alongside the General Optical Council’s (GOC) staged approval process, which is the standard procedure for a new MOptom degree in the UK*. Once full GOC approval is granted, graduates will be able to register as optometrists and practise in the UK.
