This offers you a wider range of future working opportunities in the countries affiliated to the World Federation of Occupational Therapists. It also enables students from the Republic of Ireland to work in Eire.Technology is integral to your learning, ensuring you are future-ready. Our on-campus facilities offer you the opportunity to develop and practice your skills within a simulated area, and a four-bed ward that mirrors the real practice environment. Other facilities include creative, art and pottery areas for you to gain group work and activity analysis skills.
