Occupational Therapist Degree Apprenticeship

The aim of this apprenticeship is to offer a challenging and rewarding undergraduate experience to its apprentices, developing future practitioners, who are confident in delivering professional and inter-professional practice and contributing to future research in an ever-changing health care environment.

On successful completion of this programme, you will have achieved a Bachelor’s Honours Degree in Occupational Therapy and therefore will be eligible to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council as an Occupational Therapist.

Occupational therapy is a dynamic profession, focused on enabling people to engage and participate in the things that bring meaning and purpose to their life. The occupational therapy role is broad, encompassing public, private, voluntary and independent sectors – working in partnership with individuals across their lifespan.

Occupational therapy is suited to individuals with effective communication skills and the desire to enable people to reach their full potential, influenced by the theoretical and philosophical ideas that underpin the profession.

The programme is for individuals who are working in roles that are related to occupational therapy and wish to progress in their career and become registered occupational therapists.

This apprenticeship is delivered via blended learning; a mix of 'in person' teaching and online learning.

Approved by the Health and Care Professions Council and accredited by the Royal College of Occupational Therapists.
