This course will prepare you for a fascinating and fulfilling career in orthoptics working directly with children and adults to assess and manage a range of eye conditions. It’s approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Become a specialist at diagnosing, managing and treating eye movement disorders, and supporting patients with reduced vision.

The degree in orthoptics from the University of Sheffield is recognised world-wide and opens up a diverse range of career opportunities.

Our experienced and passionate team of orthoptists, clinicians and researchers have designed the curriculum to give you a deep understanding of vision and different eye conditions.

We’ll introduce you to the basic anatomy and physiology of the human eye, before going on to explore topics such as strabismus, eye movement disorders, ocular diseases and medical microbiology and pathology. You’ll learn about medical ethics and the law, and the role orthoptists play in the NHS.

Clinical placements allow the theoretical and practical sides of the course to merge. You’ll travel to eye departments throughout the UK and Ireland working with qualified orthoptists to examine and support a range of patients.

Research also plays a key role in your studies. Our world-leading researchers have made substantial contributions to the field, and they’ll incorporate the latest findings into the course. A final year project will develop your analytical skills, advancing your understanding of vision and helping you make informed decisions about patient care.

This course is approved and accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
