Course Overview

Our Occupational Therapy course will enable you to become a qualified occupational therapist who is able to help create solutions to everyday problems experienced by the people or communities who access your services.

You will work with people and communities to enable them to carry out everyday activities (getting dressed, working, shopping, studying, and playing sports). You will spend time on placements where you will be supervised by occupational therapists in a range of health and social care environments.

Once you have successfully completed the Occupational Therapy course you will be eligible to apply for registration as an occupational therapist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Upon successful completion of the degree, you will be eligible to apply for registration as an occupational therapist in the United Kingdom with the Health and Care Professions Council, our regulatory body. The experience you gain in our course will help to ensure that you are fit for practice in evolving and dynamic healthcare services within the public, charitable, or private sectors.

You can choose to work locally, nationally, or, as a graduate with a degree approved by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists, you will also be able to apply to work internationally. During your career you may want to take on more responsibility such as supporting students on placement, becoming a team leader, or private practitioner, or setting up your own business. You can continue to develop knowledge and practice by undertaking a Masters's degree in a more specialized or advanced area of practice, undertaking research as a clinical academic or through a Ph.D. scholarship, or moving into management or academia.
