Summary
Overview Occupational therapists work closely with people who have an illness, injury or disability to help them live their lives to their full potential. You could be helping a child with a learning disability, supporting a young person with anorexia, or aiding an elderly person in recovering from a stroke.
Our MSc Occupational Therapy course prepares you for an exciting and rewarding career. You’ll join a community of enthusiastic students, lecturers and educators and a very active Occupational Therapy Society. You’ll be taught within a multi-professional health school, so you’ll be well-equipped for working in contemporary healthcare settings once you graduate.
Our two-year full-time course will enable you to deliver excellent, person-centred, inter-professional practice. You’ll learn how to apply professional reasoning, drawing on human sciences, occupational therapy theory, psychology, sociology and creativity. Our case-based and active learning approaches will shape your understanding of the profession.
Your time with us will be split between university-based learning and practice-based learning. Our dedicated placements team works closely with our practice partners to set up a balanced range of placement experiences for you.
You’ll be able to progress into careers in the NHS, social services, private health services, research and charitable organisations. Upon successful completion of the programme, you’ll also be eligible to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
