This extended BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy route is designed to offer you flexibility in your studies, accommodating work or other commitments.
It enables you to participate in the course across three semesters of the academic year to fulfil the modules and engage in practice education, typically requiring a commitment of 22.5 hours per week for learning, along with additional full-time practice education placements.
Taught elements occur on Mondays and Tuesdays (full days) with additional expectations of independent and self-directed study to be completed outside of these times. Mandatory training may take place on a Wednesday or Thursday but advance notice will be provided.
Occupational therapy is a client-centred profession concerned with promoting health and wellbeing through occupation. This means occupational therapists support people to participate in what they want, need, and are expected to do, by modifying the occupation and/or the environment to maximise health and/or wellbeing.
This course is designed to train you to meet the contemporary needs of diverse populations and will empower you to use the skills you develop in settings that align with your interests.
