Course Overview

This practice-based course – where you complete over 1,000 hours in placement settings - gives you the skills and knowledge you need to follow a rewarding career as an occupational therapist, eligible to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) when you graduate.

Occupational therapy combines a range of areas including human sciences (anatomy, physiology and psychology); sociology; pathology; learning disabilities; and mental health. On this course, you gain a grounding across these fields as well as learning about professional values and conduct; the underpinning theories; and the research behind evidence-based practice.

You put your knowledge into practice through roleplay, managed experiences and simulation, with practical sessions that develop your skills in patient assessment, treatment planning, treatment interventions and the evaluation of their usefulness.

Over the length of the course, you benefit from being in placements for a minimum of 1,000 hours, where you are supported and supervised to develop your skills.
