Program Description

Occupational therapists have the privilege of working with people of all ages, helping them to participate in occupations that hold personal meaning and value to them.

Additional key points:

• Accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT)
• UK students will receive a payment of £5,000 a year through the NHS Learning Support Fund – this does not need to be paid back
• State-of-the-art teaching facilities including dedicated laboratories for anatomy, electrotherapy and manual skills, hospital wards, critical care settings, community housing and other real-life environments relevant to practice.

There is strong demand and excellent employment options for occupational therapists. Our courses are developed collaboratively with key stakeholders including practice partners and service users with the aim of producing graduates with the knowledge and practical skills desired by potential employers.

On graduation, you will be eligible to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council allowing you the opportunity to work as an occupational therapist in the UK (please note registration is subject to application, availability, meeting any applicable visa requirements, membership/registration and additional fees may apply). Please visit the Accreditation and Professional Recognition section and the HCPC website for further information.
