  • As the education was free for me as I received a scholarship, I had a nice budget during this time. It was also cheaper than the county I come from so the economic aspect weren't a problem.

Occupational Therapists work closely with people who have an illness, injury or disability to help them live their lives to their full potential. You could be helping a young person with anorexia, or an elderly person with mobility issues. The profession is extremely varied and requires a great deal of ‘out of the box’ thinking alongside clinical reasoning. Our course prepares you with the wide range of skills, knowledge and experience you need for an exciting and rewarding career.
We will support you to become the very best Occupational Therapist you can be. You will join a supportive community, working together to gain first-hand experience and deliver first-class care.
We are ranked 19th in the UK for Occupational Therapy (Complete University Guide, 2018). We also have a great reputation with our partner NHS Trusts, and are proud that our students graduate with excellent career prospects and good honours.

What I would highlight: So far, the classes were excellent. I don't really understand the teaching system (we have to read everything before the classes - doesn't really seem to be a good way when you can only teach sth the students already know). But everybody really tries to help you!
What could be improved: Everything good.

What I would highlight: The courses I took where conducted in a different way compared to each other. One of them didn't have mandatory seminars so you basically just had to read to pass (aside the assignments). The other course had mandatory seminars with an oral presentation so you had to be prepared and also feel free to express yourself. They will listen and help if you can't find the words. The second course ended with a written exam and the first course ended with an essay. What the teachers value highly is using one argument that you develop thouroghly instead of many arguments that support each other.
What could be improved: Everything good.

What I would highlight: I spent five months as an Erasmus student in UEA. As a law student, I found the courses and the discussions we had extremely interesting, while I was grateful for the library resources and the support provided by the staff. Everyone was very helpful and organised so that also helped. Finally, the UEA campus has everything you might need: cafes, a student pub, a gym, even a lake. As for Norwich, it is a lovely, friendly city, perfect for students and really close to Cambridge and Cromer so you get to enjoy the English countryside as well. It's also not particularly expensive for UK standards, and you'll be happy to know it's one of the safest cities in the country.
What could be improved: All OK.

Course programme

The course builds up your Occupational Therapy knowledge and skills in a structured way through the three years of study, with a curriculum made up of carefully planned compulsory modules.

First Year

In the first year you will engage with core Occupational Therapy theory and practice. This will include exploring the values underpinning health and social care in order to develop academic study skills. A two week placement introduces you to the workplace, whilst a further four week placement will allow you to establish theory practice links.

Second Year

The second year of study addresses biological, psycho-social and spiritual perspectives of health. You will study specific health conditions in order to understand how Occupational Therapy relates across diverse areas of practice. You will also take part in 14 weeks of placement experience to continue to build your practice profile.

Final Year

During your final year you will continue to develop your knowledge and skills, as you explore Occupational Therapy theory and practice using creative media. You will also study a variety of contemporary health topics, as well as the legislation and policies that drive the health and social care agenda. You will complete 14 weeks of practice placement, which includes an eight week elective placement, with the opportunity to plan and undertake a placement of your choice.
