Occupational Therapy BSc (Hons)
-
University has been interesting so far and has given me some opportunities to come out of my comfort zone to try new things. I have encountered staff members who are the most helpful people, who would go out of their way to help with an issue but also those not as helpful as others. They have excellent facilities in most places, for instance the photocopy machines can be found in every building and can be used by students as well. This is pretty useful as the lecturers give you so many reading and handouts to work with. I would recommend Coventry to anyone interested in gaining a good HE diploma.

I gained my bachelor's degree in Occupation Therapy at Coventry University. It was such a great experience. Coventry is a very good university with excellent lecturers. They provide good facilities along with great services on and off the campus. I found easy to fit in campus and the city itself. I had a wonderful experience at Coventry and would recommend this Uni to anyone! Thanks!

I am enjoying my course, the teaching is very good and I am learning to become an autonomous learner. Enjoying my placements as part of my course which prepare you for work after uni. Placements prepare you for professional practice. Working with different professions (nursing and physio students) prepares you for working as part of MDT within NHS settings. university’s facilities? Fairly good. Library is well maintained. Feedback is timely and detailed. Personal tutors are on hand to support when needed.

Course programme
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
The course has been designed to provide a practice-focused approach for the personal and professional development of Occupational Therapists. It will be underpinned by the principles of empowerment, self-awareness and individual responsibility in order to prepare you to work within changing health and social care environments.
To reflect the changes in the health professions, this course could be subject to change as developments are notified to the University.
There are three full-time practice placements which are fully integrated into the programme. They provide opportunities for you to develop professional competence and also a professional identity in a range of health and social care settings. The main teaching methods that we use on the course are lectures, seminars, workshops, individual tutorials, and practice placements.
Note that this course is also available as an in-service route taught part-time over 4 years.
An estimated percentage breakdown of how your final grade is assessed is as follows: coursework, tests, essays 30%; practical or project work 10%; group work etc. 20%; presentations, posters etc.10%; other e.g. placements etc. 30%.
In a typical week you will have up to 25 contact hours of teaching and this will break down as:
Personal tutorial/small group teaching: 7 hours of individual guided study sessions each week
Medium group teaching: 4-6 hours of practical sessions, workshops or seminars each week
Large group teaching: 12 hours of seminars and workshops each week
Personal study: 10-14 hours of studying in small groups or on your own each week
