Through a combination of teaching, group work and 1,000 hours of placement experience in a variety of health and social care settings, this course will challenge your problem-solving and practical skills.

As part of this course, you’ll:

Develop the skills and knowledge to deliver occupational therapy assessments

This course is accredited by the Royal College of Occupational Therapists and is a World Federation of Occupational Therapists Approved Education Programme. Your curriculum will reflect the standards required by the Royal College of Occupational Therapists.

Teaching & Learning

Independent study is a crucial part of learning at university and you will be required to undertake many hours of self-directed research and reading, and preparation and writing of assessments. Your course is delivered through a number of modules, which will help you to plan your time and establish a study routine. Outside of your lectures, workshops and tutorials, a range of support is available to assist with your independent study. Our subject-specific librarians will be on hand to direct you to the specialist learning and study-skill resources. You’ll also be assigned an academic advisor to give you tailored feedback and support.

Career Prospects

The need for qualified occupational therapists is rising, and as a registered occupational therapist you will be able to work in a range of settings. The majority of occupational therapists work within the NHS in acute and community settings and in social services, while others find careers in the private and voluntary sectors. You could also work as a mental health practitioner or become a researcher in occupational therapy.
