Our Occupational Therapy undergraduate course equips you with the knowledge and skills that you will require for professional practice through combining the study of occupational and human sciences with hands-on learning in a practical setting.

You will be encouraged to consider the evidence base for current practice throughout the course.
During your second year you will have the opportunity to take part in a short student exchange programme. You will develop skills in understanding and using research to inform practice that will lead to a research proposal for your Independent Study project in Stage three.
In the final year you will make more choices about what you study to enable you to develop the knowledge and skill set you want to achieve your aspirations as an emerging occupational therapist. As you prepare for employment, you have a 12 week placement in which you will be given the opportunity to demonstrate your skills, understanding and theoretical knowledge of occupational therapy.
