Course summary

Why Occupational Therapy? Our Occupational Therapy degree will prepare you for a successful career as an Occupational Therapist, helping you to create a ‘whole-person’ approach to manage a patient’s physical, psychological, social and environmental needs. The role of an Occupational Therapist is a rewarding one, and this course will give you the best head start possible to be able to provide patients with a renewed sense of purpose, opening up new horizons, and changing the way they feel about the future. You’ll learn about the core areas of occupational therapy and apply these to clinical situations. The course will include valuable placements in a variety of NHS, social care, charitable and private/ contemporary settings to give you a diverse experience to prepare for your future career as an Occupational Therapist. The course also benefits from using state-of-the-art facilities including rehabilitation spaces, a hospital ward, a skills laboratory, and a simulated ‘home’ environment. With the added benefit of being able to work alongside students from other allied health courses, you will have the opportunity to enhance your professional identity as an occupational therapist. This hands-on and rewarding course has been developed to cater to your needs perfectly. We will be seeking accreditation with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Royal College of Occupational Therapy (RCOT), and on successful completion of the degree, you will be eligible to apply for registration with the HCPC and the RCOT.
