Course summary

The MSc Occupational Therapy degree at University of Cumbria provides you with excellent training to become a highly skilled and knowledgeable occupational therapist. We will support you to gain a wide range of up-to-date professional and practical skills so you can help people to do all the occupations they need and want to do. Our degree will enable you to become a part of a hugely diverse and person-centred profession which transforms people’s lives through occupation. Our programme offers you varied ways in which to learn with increased practical learning in a range of settings from classrooms, practical skills rooms such as our mock ward and flat. In our impressive simulation facilities, we will work with you to apply your theoretical learning to simulated real-world scenarios. These will enable you to build your confidence and skills in safe and supportive practice environments, before progressing to real-life cases. Throughout the two years of your Master's degree we provide you with at least 1,000 hours on placement in a variety of settings with children, adults, and older adults with physical, social, or mental health challenges. We have extensive practice placement providers and so can offer you a broad range of placements in physical, mental health, children’s services and learning disabilities. Travel to your placement may be up to 90 minutes each way, for some placements. Your final placement is elective, this means you can choose where your placement takes place within the United Kingdom or the wider world. Further information about what makes an eligible elective placement will be given at the beginning of the programme.
