Optometry (Undergraduate)
Message from the Head of Division
Dear first-year optometry student,
I am looking forward to meeting you when you arrive in the Division of Pharmacy and Optometry in September. I hope you are excited about the prospect of studying optometry and joining our community.
Your first four weeks on the course will be all about getting to know your new community – both fellow students and the staff. We have an exciting schedule of activities planned which will help you to get started and get the most out of your university experience.
Please do not forget that it is essential that all optometry students are registered with the General Optical Council – please ensure you do this as soon as you are able.
If you have any questions about any aspect of your course, please do not hesitate to contact us.
With best wishes,
Professor Philip Morgan
