**Overview**<br/>Choose to study Occupational Therapy and you’ll be taking the first step towards an exciting and rewarding profession that focuses on developing extraordinary partnerships with people and making lasting, positive changes to their lives by empowering them to reach their maximum potential. <br/><br/>By entering onto our three-year course, you will develop the skills and attributes required to help people address their difficulties. As a qualified Occupational Therapist (OT) you’ll work in close collaboration with other health and social care professionals, which is why our programme has a strong inter-professional focus, embodying the principles that facilitate effective teamwork. You’ll develop a professional identity of your own while gaining a greater awareness of the roles and responsibilities of all partners in health and social care. <br/><br/>Throughout the course, you’ll share modules with physiotherapy and speech and language therapy students. You’ll take part in small teaching groups, allowing you to get involved with a close-knit student body and supportive learning culture. Hands-on practice is vital, so you’ll have practice placement experiences in every year of your courses with us. We ensure you get a varied experience with a mixture of both physical and mental health placements. <br/><br/>As well as giving you a solid and varied academic grounding, our programme will provide you with early patient contact and access to superb facilities, including our anatomy room and assistive technology suite. These will help you develop the practical skills which will prove vital to making your career a success. <br/><br/>You’ll graduate with all of the skills and knowledge necessary to register with the Health and Care Professions Council as an occupational therapist. After this, you’ll embark on a challenging and rewarding career helping people from a wide range of backgrounds with their autonomy, functionality, and enjoyment of life. <br/><br/>**Disclaimer**<br/><br/>Course details are subject to change.
