Our MSc (Pre-registration) Occupational Therapy course is an accelerated qualifying programme for graduates with a suitable Bachelor’s degree (i.e. BSc/BA).

Occupational therapists play a key role in helping people regain, maintain or improve their participation in life. This course offers you the opportunity to learn from and with peers on other professional courses such as Physiotherapy. This aims to develop skilled and compassionate practitioners who have the confidence to collaborate with other professions and promote professional, social, and political change in health and social care. Our small class sizes ensure that you develop good relationships with peers and staff. Our Occupational Therapy teaching team is dynamic, innovative, and fun and share a variety of clinical, leadership and educational experience. You will be supported to gain more than 1,000 hours of practice-based learning in a variety of practice, leadership, and role-emerging settings.

Successful completion of the course allows you to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council and therefore is it not suitable for those who already hold registration.

We look forward to welcoming you to our close-knit University of Worcester occupational therapy community. Our Very Short Guide to Occupational Therapy offers further insights into Occupational Therapy as a career.
