Optometry (advanced in-service training)

For you as a graduate of the part-time Bachelor's degree programme "Optometry", there is a complex field of application that represents an excellent interface between people, medicine and technology. You will be able to recognise, analyse and adequately treat not only refractive errors but also visual disorders at a scientific level. This includes optical and optometric as well as biological and clinical-medical knowledge and techniques to examine visual disorders and achieve the best possible vision.

With the part-time Bachelor's degree programme "Optometry", you will open up further professional fields of application beyond the traditional optician's trade, such as specialised optician's shops/optometry practices/institutes, contact lens institutes, ophthalmological institutions (ophthalmologist's practices and eye clinics) or institutions for rehabilitation of the visually impaired. You are able to apply comprehensive optometric examinations in a practice-relevant and goal-oriented manner through knowledge and techniques on the visual system and its measurement.

Through the teaching of business management skills in business administration as well as marketing and business management, you can excellently fill management positions in specialist shops, branches and companies in optometry/optics as well as in the optical industry, e.g. in marketing.

With the Bachelor of Science degree, you will also acquire an internationally recognised qualification and have the opportunity to work abroad. And if you would like to continue your studies, you have the option of completing a Master's degree and possibly a doctorate.
