Study Optometry in Germany (2026/27)

Overview Deadlines

Optometry programs in Germany provide international students with the knowledge and clinical skills to assess, diagnose, and manage vision and eye health, studying in a country known for its precision engineering, advanced medical technologies, and high-quality healthcare system. These programs—often offered as part of ophthalmic optics or vision science degrees—combine in-depth theoretical foundations in optics, anatomy, physiology, and visual neuroscience with extensive hands-on training in eye examinations, corrective lens design, contact lens fitting, and detection of ocular diseases. Students gain practical experience through internships in optical clinics, hospitals, and industry-leading companies such as Zeiss and Rodenstock, where they work with cutting-edge diagnostic tools, digital imaging systems, and lens manufacturing technologies.

Numerus Clausus (Admission Restriction)

For degree courses with a numerus clausus, part of the study places are allocated according to the grade point average (GPA) of the previous degree. Selection is generally based on how many applicants apply for a place. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to get onto the course. The German grading system ranges from 1.0 (very good) to 6.0 (unsatisfactory).
