Occupational therapists work with people of all ages to help them carry out activities that they want to or need to do so that they can lead fulfilling lives (RCOT 2019). This BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy course is a three-year full-time programme, involving a combination of academic and professional practice placement modules. Graduates are eligible to apply for membership of the British Association of Occupational Therapists and to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). They are qualified to work across a wide range of settings including the traditional settings of hospitals, day care, community practice and schools, and in non-traditional settings such as charitable organisations, prisons and with asylum seekers and refugees.

This course prepares students to become occupational therapists who are competent to work within multidisciplinary teams in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals, schools and community practice, as well as in non-traditional settings such as charitable organisations. They work with people of all ages, helping them to carry out activities that they need to or want to do, but are prevented from doing due to disability, physical or mental illness or the effects of ageing (RCOT 2019). Applicants should have a high level of personal integrity and initiative, good communication skills and organisational ability, be practical and good at solving problems, and have a genuine interest in people.

Students who successfully complete the course will be eligible for membership of the British Association of Occupational Therapists and for application to register with the Health and Care Professions Council. The latter is essential for employment within the National Health Service.

The course is also recognised by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists and employment opportunities exist in many parts of the world.

Occupational therapy students are expected to become student members of the British Association of Occupational Therapists. This involves a small annual fee payable by the student.

Academic staff come from a range of practice backgrounds which support the range of professional teaching on the course.
