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.

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 YearIn 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 YearThe 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 YearDuring 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.
