Gain professional knowledge and skills required for registration as an Occupational Therapist with the Health and Care Professions Council

Overview

This innovative programme is designed for graduates who wish to qualify as an Occupational Therapist, with eligibility for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). It offers an accelerated two-year route of study.

This unique MSc (pre-registration) Occupational Therapy degree programme best prepares you as a future occupational therapist to work effectively within the complex and rapidly evolving environment of health and social care. Being both intellectually challenging and practical, this programme will ready you for the real world of occupational therapy at a local and global level. You will enter the workplace as a confident, competent, and autonomous occupational therapist equipped to lead the delivery of personalised and responsive services, which place individuals and families at the centre of their care and support.

The programme is exceptional in that it has been developed alongside the MSc Physiotherapy and Master of Social Work programmes. More than ever, occupational therapists need to acquire deep knowledge of the roles of those they work with, so they can best meet the needs of service users. Learning alongside professional student colleagues in the classroom right from the start of your programme means that you will develop the professional skills required to work in current and future occupational therapy practice.

The outstanding Simulation and Clinical Skills Centre provides the facilities to further develop your skills in realistic settings including the home environment.

Careers

The course aims to enable students to be innovative, provide leadership and prepare them to register as an Occupational Therapist, ready to work in the NHS, private, local authority and third sector organisations.
