Professional Events
A big part of our role as a society is to support our members in career development. Strong relationships with industry allows us to host pre-registration year events, equipment fairs and pathway events with guest speakers.
You can find upcoming events on our Events Calendar page.
Popular events include:
Pathways Talk- An evening featuring speakers from across the optical industry (primary care, domiciliary, manufacturing, academia and hospital optometry) to highlight to students the different pathways open to them once they graduate.
This event usually takes place in October/November time, ahead of the pre-registration application window for our second year students.

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.
