About this course

This extended BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy route is designed to offer you flexibility in your studies, accommodating work or other commitments. It enables you to participate in the course across three semesters of the academic year to fulfil the modules and engage in practice education, typically requiring a commitment of 22.5 hours per week for learning, along with additional full-time practice education placements.

Occupational therapists support individuals across various backgrounds and age groups, helping them manage physical and psychological challenges. They work with clients to evaluate how physical health, mental health, and social environments impact their ability to perform daily activities such as personal care, domestic tasks, socialising, leisure, and work.

Occupational therapy is a client-centred field that promotes health and wellbeing through participation in meaningful activities. This BSc (Hons) programme, accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Royal College of Occupational Therapists, equips you to address contemporary needs in diverse populations.

The course is underpinned by four 'golden threads':

  • Theory-driven: Modules are grounded in relevant theories.

  • Evidence-informed: Utilises a range of evidence sources, including peer-reviewed research and real-world learning.

  • Occupation-centred: Focuses on recognising individuals as occupational beings.

  • Inclusive: Addresses systemic issues and promotes inclusivity, allyship, and equality.

    You will combine academic study with practice placements, developing a range of professional and personal skills.
