Overview

A career in occupational therapy offers a diverse and fulfilling path with a sense of purpose and significant job satisfaction. Upon successful completion of the degree, graduates are eligible to apply for HCPC registration, entering a rewarding profession where they can assist individuals facing physical and mental challenges in overcoming barriers to independence. The program is led by a skilled team with extensive experience in a wide range of occupational therapy roles, providing students with invaluable insights. Practical skills are honed in state-of-the-art facilities, including a specialized rehabilitation kitchen, ensuring students are well-prepared for real-world practice. The Foundation Year course serves as a stepping stone to the full BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy degree, which is accredited by the Royal College of Occupational Therapists and approved by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Graduates are eligible for HCPC registration to practice as occupational therapists. Occupational therapists play a vital role in helping people with a variety of challenges to perform essential everyday tasks that promote health and well-being. This could include assisting older adults in adapting their living environments to maintain independence, supporting individuals with dementia, helping patients recover after a stroke or surgery, or enabling children with disabilities to fully participate in school and play. The course equips students with the practical, theoretical, and interpersonal skills needed to support people with disabilities, illnesses, and long-term conditions, helping them overcome obstacles and reach their full potential. Starting with a foundation year, the course provides a solid introduction to the subject area, ensuring students acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. This route is ideal for those who may not have formal qualifications for direct entry into the honours degree program but wish to pursue a career in occupational therapy. The Foundation Year ensures students are prepared for the full BSc (Hons) degree, completing their studies in four years and gaining the necessary credentials for a successful career in this highly rewarding field.
