Introduction

On September 21st I will be heading to the UK for the first time. I am going to Birmingham England where I will be studing Optometry at Aston University (which is a three year undergraduate degree program). Once I have completed the program I will then do a one year internship (pre-registration year) before I officially become an Optometrist and head back home to Canada. It's going to be a great adventure and i'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun!

I'm creating this blog so that I can share my experiences with anyone who is interested. My plan is to post something weekly, mainly upload pictures and maybe a few comments.

Lets see what happens ;)

  4. There's 120-130 per year at Aston. Aston has the largest class size out of the UK Optometry programs, and the 120/130 which sounds like a big class, but it's surprising how small the class feels once you get to know your classmates. Plus they break up the class into smaller groups for the various labs, which is great.

    Hope this helps,
    Jeff
