Course Overview

Optometrists are professional clinicians responsible for multiple aspects of vision care, specializing in preserving sight by diagnosing and treating visual problems. Theyre trained to examine the eyes and detect disorders originating in the eye, brain, or other parts of the body. This course is for students who live in Singapore and want to gain a UK awarded qualification, the BSc Optometry, and Clinical Practice. They learn by a unique mix of online learning delivered by Aston Optometry School experts and still experience in-person teaching with qualified tutors in Singapore at Parkway College. To ensure you gain crucial hands-on experience, students get to complete a month-long residential at Astons modern Birmingham city center campus. They get to work on-site in a clinical setting with real patients. Here you will be supervised by, and work closely with, our staff including ophthalmologists, optometrists, and dispensing opticians to develop and expand your clinical practice skills.
