what to expect in first year undergraduate optometry + advice (UK) 👓

Are you entering into first year optometry or are you wondering what first year in optom looks like? This video is for you!

Have a good day today!

Extra things to add to this video:
1. Optometric equipment needs to be purchased (your university should send out an email to you about this) - can cost up to £250 depending on your uni for a new set including lens flippers, rulers, measuring tape, volk, scrubs, lab coats etc.
2. GOC registration for students needs to be complete - payment of £30 per year
3. Health DBS form is required - around £50 (I dont really remember)
4. Normal uni days can last from 3-4 hours including lectures, practicals, tutorials, group work. Maybe in uni 3-5 days a week.
5. Exams: some online, all modules have an end of year written exam, practical exams (with supervisor) some computer aided excel work, group coursework and lab reports.
6. Before you enter a practical: Always revise the practical before hand!
7. Dont feel lik,e you need to attend all lectures in person, you can do them online at your own pace if thats what you perfer (unfortunately some lectures can be uploaded online after a week or a few days).

Thankyou so much for making this, it was really helpful. I was just wondering if you had to fully register with the GOC before you started the degree or if that registration was completed once the course began?

Hi! Im taking my gcses next year and was wondering what sort of grades you got at gcses and at a levels to get into optometry skl... also what made you decide on optometry? I love the idea of it but I kind of hate maths so I'm not sure if it's right for me

Would you recommend an iPad for optometry?

Hey, I’m taking a gap year to figure out the right career for me. What made you choose it and what wider reading and work experience did you do for your application?

Funny thing is I’ve come from watching your GCSEs video all those years ago to coming back to this!
