This might involve making changes to the environment in which people carry out their occupations, working with someone who is learning new ways to do things or working through a recovery process where someone is able to return to previous occupations or discover new and different occupations.
As well as working with individuals, their families and other people that are important in their lives, you could also work with people in groups. You may work as the only occupational therapist in an area, or as part of a team. You may work in people’s own homes, hospital settings, social services departments, charity organisations, prisons, schools, and many other areas. You’ll work with people of all ages so that they can achieve the occupations they need and want to be able to do to live fulfilled lives.
This course has a strong practical focus and you’ll spend a lot of time out on work placements in a variety of settings. When on campus, you’ll be taught through a mix of lectures, interactive seminars, and practical skills sessions. You’ll also have access to Ability House – a converted house with specialist adaptations made to the kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms where you can practice your skills.
An employability module in your final year will develop your interview skills, explore available job roles, and support you in completing applications.
At Worcester, you’ll be taught alongside other health and social care students, including physiotherapists, dietitians, social workers, mental health nurses, physicians associates, and doctors. This prepares you to collaborate with and work alongside other health and social care professionals, just as you will once you graduate.

Admission Requirements
GCSE English at grade C/4 or above
Students are required to demonstrate health and character sufficient to ensure safe and effective practice. This includes a satisfactory Enhanced DBS and occupational health assessment
Recent study: It can be beneficial to have carried out some recent study to help with the transition into University. However, we know that some people may have had a considerable gap between study and application for the BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy Degree. If you want to discuss your individual situation, please contact the admissions team.
Work experience: We strongly encourage you to gain some work experience with an occupational therapist where possible. If direct shadowing is not possible, think about other experiences that would be beneficial, for example supporting people of different ages to carry out occupations they want or need to do. This can be reading with younger children at school, helping a charity or working in a care home. It is also important that you have taken time to research the breadth of the profession. You must be aware of the core areas of practice and that occupational therapists work in a wide range of settings. You can access information about the profession from the Royal College of Occupational Therapists and Health and Care Professions Council, and Step into the NHS and Health Careers, as well as carrying out their own broader research.
