Course Description

Occupational therapists work with people of all ages, in an increasing range of health, social care and private care settings. Clinical areas include physical rehabilitation, mental health, learning disabilities, social services and education, as well as other non-traditional areas, such as with homeless people and in prisons.

You will experience a range of teaching and assessment methods throughout the course, which includes working effectively with clients, their families and other healthcare professionals, critically examining your own practice and managing your work competently. You will go on to develop the skills and knowledge you need to work in a range of practice settings, and you will study the management and research skills required to equip you for your future professional practice as a clinician, educator, evaluator and manager.

This programme offers a combination of academic study and integrated fieldwork placements, which take place across a range of health and social care settings throughout the programme, starting in year one.
