A new four-year Master in Optometry programme (MOptom) at the University of Hertfordshire has received provisional approval from the General Optical Council.
This new programme, incorporating the College of Optometrists Scheme for Registration, was to enrol up to 50 students per year from September 2015, a statement said.
The programme provided extensive practice placement in hospital and community practice through years 3 and 4 of the course.
Cheri Hunter, associate dean and head of postgraduate medicine, said: ‘We are delighted to launch this new programme which will benefit from our strong links with practice, excellent faculty and innovative approach to delivering clinically based learning. I look forward to welcoming students.’
