Occupational Therapy - BSc (Hons)

Canterbury Christ Church University

(Graduate Outcomes Survey 2025)

You will work with people and communities to enable them to carry out everyday activities (getting dressed, working, shopping, studying, playing sport). We will support you to become a confident, compassionate practitioner who can adapt to the changing world we live in and contemplate working in new emerging occupational therapy roles. At CCCU we challenge the traditional boundaries of occupational therapy practice; we provide you with the knowledge, understanding, and tools you will need to promote occupational justice for individuals and communities.

The degree is currently approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), accredited by the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) and approved by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists. To be eligible to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council you must demonstrate good health and good character throughout your studies. You will be required annually to sign a 'declaration of ongoing fitness to practise'.

As a healthcare student, you will have access to our specialist, industry-relevant, simulation facilities. The state of the art simulation suite allows you to practice your clinical skills in a fully-equipped, realistic environment, including hospital wards and a flat. These sessions will prepare you for your practice placements and future employment.
