Aston provides a really good diverse introduction into university life. You get the heart of Birmingham without it feeling too busy and rushed. You’re able to enjoy what’s on offer with lots of support and encouragement from fellow students as well as supervisors and lecturers.

From an optometry point of view you get a whole building dedicated to improving your skills and clinical expertise. As well as this you have your own clinics which cover all different aspects of optometry such as low vision, contact lenses, sight tests, contact lenses and more! The support from supervisors is second to none they give so much insight into their speciality.

Overall I loved my experience at Aston and would highly recommend to anyone considering it as an option!

Good luck! 🙂
