Optometry degree programme at Aalen University of Applied Sciences
Welcome to the Optometry degree programme at Aalen University – a place where a family atmosphere and excellent support go hand in hand. With us, you can expect a degree program that is not only academically demanding, but also enriched by a close-knit community and a wide range of activities.
Familiar atmosphere and optimal support
Our degree programme is characterised by small semester sizes, which allow for optimal supervision and individual support. The family atmosphere on campus creates an environment in which students and lecturers know each other personally and support each other. This close-knit community ensures that you quickly feel at home with us and can pursue your academic goals in a supportive environment.
Joint activities and excursions
Life and learning on the Optometry degree programme is not limited to lecture halls and laboratories. As soon as the temperatures rise, we take the opportunity to have a barbecue together and enjoy the warm days. We also regularly organise exciting cross-semester activities such as ski trips in winter, which not only provide a sporting change of pace, but also strengthen team spirit among the students.
Our excursions to leading manufacturers in the optical industry and specialised contact lens institutes are a particular highlight. These practical insights into the industry enable you to make valuable contacts and supplement your theoretical knowledge with practical experience.
