Summary
On our Occupational Therapy course, you’ll build the skills and knowledge to work with people of all ages from all walks of life. You will help individuals with a variety of physical, mental, and social needs improve their mobility in order to overcome the challenges they face on a daily basis.
You’ll take part in supervised practice placements during both years of study. These will present you with opportunities to take the skills you’ve learned on the course and apply them in professional settings. Placements in a professional setting, in or outside of the Oxford area, give you the chance to learn and practice on location.
This pre-registration Masters degree is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council and accredited by the Royal College of Occupational Therapists. Successful completion allows you to register as an occupational therapist in the UK. So you’ll be learning the skills, and gaining the knowledge for a rewarding career.

We recognise that values and attitudes have the greatest impact on the quality of people’s care and their experiences. VBR is a way of helping our Programme recruitment teams to assess the values, motives and attitudes of those who wish to work with people in health and social care settings. When we refer to values we mean, for example, the values included in the NHS constitution. VBR focuses on ‘how’ and ‘why’ an applicant makes choices in how they act and seeks to explore reasons for their behaviour. Further details about the VBR framework can be found here. |
