What this means for students

02

The FTY will provide a structured final year experience for students, bringing together clinical practice, learning and assessment across the year.

"The emphasis is on building confidence, adaptability and clinical capability; preparing students for real-world practice."

Through this, students will:  

      • follow one clear, integrated route from university to registration, 
      • extensive hands-on clinical experience, 
      • receive structured supervision and feedback, and 
      • graduate as an IP qualified optometrist, ready for advanced roles across Scotland’s eyecare system.
