Occupational Therapy (Pre-Registration) MSc

Our degree is designed to meet rigorous professional standards. It is accredited by the Royal College of Occupational Therapists and approved by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). As an occupational therapist, you’ll support people who have a range of difficulties to perform the everyday activities which are key to their health and wellbeing – from work, sport and leisure to aspects of self-care. This is a profession with a huge reach. It could mean adapting older adults’ living environments so they can stay in their own homes, devising strategies to assist people with dementia, helping patients adjust to life after a stroke or surgery, or ensuring children with disabilities can take a full part in school life or at play. Our course equips you for the challenge. You’ll gain the practical, theoretical and interpersonal skills to help people with disabilities, illnesses and long-term conditions to overcome the obstacles that prevent them from reaching their full potential. A career in occupational therapy delivers huge satisfaction – and that starts with your degree.

Applicants are required to hold a 2:1 Honours degree qualification or above (in a subject other than a pre-registration Occupational Therapy qualification).
