BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy
You will gain an understanding of function and dysfunction in the mind and body and the use of occupation in the assessment and treatment of illness. You will also look at the societal and institutional contexts of illness and health, and ethical issues in health care delivery.
You will attend lectures and undertake independent study that requires engagement from Monday to Friday. You will receive timetables in advance and be able to plan your time accordingly. All practice placements are full-time, Monday to Friday and typically 8.30-4.30.
We consistently receive very positive student feedback about our programme, and we're pleased to say that our Occupational Therapy course is ranked within the top 20 Occupational Therapy courses nationally in the Complete University Guide 2021.
In your personal statement you will need to demonstrate:
If you are an international student and not from a majority English speaking country, you will need IELTS 6.5 with no element below 6.0. We also accept a range of other English language qualifications. If you do not have the English language requirements, you could take the Pre-Sessional English course, or the International Foundation Year to gain entry onto this degree.
Applicants who have previously been enrolled in an occupational therapy pre-registration programme or any other health professional education programme must submit a self-declaration confirming no previous fitness to practice concerns if an offer is made for a place on the programme.
All students will need occupational health clearance and DBS clearance in order to continue with the programme.
