The Degree Programme in Orthoptics and Ophthalmic Assistance provides students with the knowledge and practical skills needed to assess, manage, and rehabilitate visual disorders.

The programme begins with a strong foundation in the biomedical sciences, including human biology, physiology, and pathology, alongside training in English for professional communication and the understanding of scientific literature. Students also develop interpersonal and communication skills and gain an introduction to the organisation of healthcare services.

As the programme progresses, students acquire specialist knowledge of the visual system, diagnostic techniques, ophthalmic technologies, and visual rehabilitation. They also learn about common systemic diseases to support effective collaboration within multidisciplinary healthcare teams.

In the final year, students further develop their clinical, communication, and patient-care skills through advanced ophthalmic studies and supervised clinical training.

Teaching includes lectures, laboratory sessions, professional skills training, and clinical placements, allowing students to apply their knowledge in real healthcare settings. The programme also offers elective activities and specialist seminars to broaden students' learning experience.

The degree comprises 180 ECTS credits and prepares graduates for professional practice in orthoptics and ophthalmic care.
