Overview
Our MSc Occupational Therapy (pre-registration) course enables you to graduate with a master’s degree. And be eligible to apply for registration as an occupational therapist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) in the UK.
The course will develop your understanding of the potential for occupational therapy to promote the health and wellbeing of the population.
As an occupational therapist you will work people of all ages from all walks of life, in hospital, the community, their place of employment or in their home. Your clients will have a broad range of physical, mental health or social needs. You will work to improve function and enable them to fulfil the demands of their daily lives.
Our teaching staff are experienced in their specialist practice areas. They have reputations for excellence. As well as established links with colleagues, organisations and institutions at national and international level.
The degree does not provide eligibility to practice in any other country but it is WFOT recognised. This degree is NOT NHS Funded.
Learning and assessment
The curriculum and structure of our course uses the spiral model of education as a framework. You will use enquiry based learning approaches to meet the demands of the format of the course.
You will be able to capitalise on your pre-existing study skills as a graduate student with high levels of self-motivation who is practiced in independent learning.
After you graduate
Career prospects
The majority of graduates from the occupational therapy degrees work as qualified and registered occupational therapists, but there are increasing opportunities to work in non-specified professional roles in mental health and community settings.
There are also increasing numbers of employment roles that are not explicitly described or advertised as an ‘occupational therapist’ but match the skills specification of an occupational therapist. This is due to the changing nature of health and social care practice and the new and emerging roles and opportunities for occupational therapy.
