Programme Aims & Learning Outcomes

To prepare students to become primary eyecare practitioners with expert knowledge of the eye and the visual system. Students gain the knowledge and skills necessary to diagnose visual problems and offer treatment options, which may comprise optical lenses or visual training.


The journey to becoming an eyecare practitioner begins with a strong foundation in basic life science, followed by a thorough grounding in optometric science. In the second half of the programme, students acquire the clinical skills necessary to effectively manage a wide variety of visual problems. The five semesters of supervised clinical training in our Optometry Clinic and our satellite clinics with real patients give students many opportunities to learn to care for patients and to consolidate their clinical skills and knowledge.


Throughout the programme, students learn about ethical, professional and legal issues in preparation for clinical practice.
