What makes the Occupational Therapy BSc special?
Learning is very much hands-on on this HCPC- and RCOT-accredited degree, developing your communication skills and preparing you for practice.
By combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience, you will explore concepts, principles and theories of occupational therapy and occupational science, human development, anatomy, physiology and psychology to develop a strong foundation to practice as an Occupational Therapist (OT).
Over the course of three years, you will spend 1,000 hours (approximately a third of the programme) on placement. Our placements are in and around London and include a diverse range of settings (for example, acute healthcare trusts, community settings, schools, local authorities, social enterprises, charities and non-traditional placements).
Who is the course for?
More occupational therapists are needed across the UK to help address the growing number of people who need their support now, as well as those who will require it in the future.
Career prospects are excellent, with opportunities for career progression within the NHS and other settings through professional practice and development into Senior Occupational Therapist and Advanced Practitioner roles, as well as progression into management, education and training, or academic career pathways.
On completion of this degree, you will be eligible to apply both for professional registration with the HCPC and membership of the RCOT. If you are an EU or non-EU (international) applicant, you should check with the professional registration body in your country to ensure that you will be eligible to practise there.
