Overview

The Master of Optometry (MOptom) degree, developed and taught by the Leicester School of Optometry at the University of Leicester, is a gateway to a rewarding career as a registered optometrist. Optometrists work on the frontline of healthcare, playing a critical role in maintaining and improving the eye health of people of all ages and backgrounds. Optometrists work in a variety of settings, including in hospitals and on the high street. They carry out detailed eye examinations, prescribe glasses or contact lenses and, through their use of advanced technology and deep clinical knowledge, they also detect and manage defects in vision or disease. The course is undergoing the General Optical Council's (GOC) staged process to offer GOC-approved qualifications. This is the standard procedure for a new MOptom degree in the UK. The Leicester School of Optometry at the University of Leicester has been given permission to interview students for admissions and make provisional offers by the General Optical Council. Full GOC approval takes place at a later stage. Once this is achieved it means that after you graduate you can become a registered optometrist. On this degree, you will develop your knowledge and skills through a mix of academic study and work- and clinic-based learning. You will be taught by expert practitioners, and you will benefit from our outstanding clinical facilities at Leicester Royal infirmary and optic labs on campus, as well as pioneering and highly specialist facilities such as our medical dissection rooms and Space Park Leicester.
