Pre-registration Talks- These are ongoing throughout Term 1 and are aimed at second years, supporting them in their pre-registration applications. The major multiples (Specsavers, Vision Express & and Boots) are invited in and we also invite local opticians to the university to network with students interested in finding a placement in independent practice.
