Course summary

As an occupational therapist, you'll empower others, build confidence and help people reclaim their independence for the moments that matter most. These might be due to physical or mental health conditions, learning differences, age-related changes, life transitions (such as becoming a parent or retiring), trauma, or a combination of social and personal factors. Your role is to support people in doing the things that matter most to them, whether that’s returning to work, managing at home, or engaging in hobbies and relationships.This might involve helping someone learn new ways to carry out daily activities, supporting them through recovery, or making changes to their environment to make everyday tasks more manageable. You’ll work with individuals, families, and communities, sometimes one-on-one and sometimes in groups. Occupational therapists work in a wide range of settings, including people’s homes, hospitals, schools, prisons, charities, and social care services.Our course is designed for graduates from disciplines other than occupational therapy who wish to become qualified occupational therapists. Unlike the BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy, which runs over three years with teaching between September and May, this MSc offers an accelerated, two-year route into the profession. Your time will be split between studying the theory in lectures, practising your skills in practical hands-on sessions, and putting what you've learned into practice on placement.You'll have sessions in Ability House – a converted house with specialist adaptations made to the kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. This allows you to practise your skills in a realistic and supportive setting. You’ll also work closely with service users and carers throughout the course, ensuring your learning is grounded in lived experience.At Worcester, our assessments are designed to reflect the realities of professional practice, supporting your transition into a new career with confidence. As a postgraduate student, you’ll be encouraged to carry out your own research and write for publication, developing the critical thinking and communication skills expected at this level. You’ll study alongside students from other health and social care professions, such as physiotherapy, preparing you to work collaboratively with teams you’ll encounter in practice.
