You’ll study with students preparing for a range of professional courses, including paramedicine, physiotherapy, nursing and diagnostic radiography. This prepares you to collaborate with and work alongside other health and social care professionals, just as you will once you graduate.
By successfully completing the foundation year, you’ll be guaranteed to progress on to our three-year Occupational Therapy degree.
Over the final three years of the course, you’ll be able to put all that you have learned into practice by taking part in a variety of work placements, collecting over 1,000 hours of professional experience.
When on campus, you’ll be taught through a mix of lectures, interactive seminars, and practical skills sessions. You’ll also have access to our specialist skills simulation facilities and Ability House – a converted house with adaptations made to the kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms where you can practice your skills and become confident working in home environments.
As an occupational therapist, you'll support people who have difficulties carrying out day-to-day occupations (activities). This may be due to physical or mental health difficulties, learning differences, age related changes, transitions in life, trauma, or an intersection of many different things. This could mean adapting the living environment of a person affected by a life-altering injury, supporting those living with dementia, or working with disabled children to participate in school and play.
