What is BSc Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is a science-based healthcare profession that draws on biological, psychological and social knowledge to support health and well-being. It takes a person-centred approach, focusing on what matters most to each individual.

You’ll learn how everyday activities can be used therapeutically to support physical, emotional and cognitive functions. This includes areas such as self-care, work, education and leisure.

Occupational therapists work across health, social care, education and community settings. They support people of all ages to adapt, recover, and participate in meaningful daily life.
