Occupational therapists work closely with people who have an illness, injury or disability to help them live their lives to their full potential. You could be helping a child with a learning disability, supporting a young person with anorexia, or aiding an elderly person in recovering from a stroke.
Our MSc Occupational Therapy course prepares you for an exciting and rewarding career. You’ll join a community of enthusiastic students, lecturers and educators and a very active Occupational Therapy Society. You’ll be taught within a multi-professional health school, so you’ll be well-equipped for working in contemporary healthcare settings once you graduate.
Our two-year full-time course will enable you to deliver excellent, person-centred, inter-professional practice. You’ll learn how to apply professional reasoning, drawing on human sciences, occupational therapy theory, psychology, sociology and creativity. Our case-based and active learning approaches will shape your understanding of the profession.
Our two-year, full-time programme encompasses 45 weeks of learning each year. This includes three to four weeks of reading to prepare for assessments and placements, as well as time to consolidate knowledge.
The programme adopts a case-based learning (CBL) structure which enables the development of independent learning, problem solving and decision-making skills.
Practice placements are integrated throughout the course, enabling you to undertake a supervised placement with a range of different healthcare partners including but not limited to the East Anglian region. You'll complete a minimum of 1000 assessed placement hours during the programme.
Year two continues with the CBL approach. During your second year of study, you’ll build upon your understanding of occupation to develop advanced professional reasoning skills. You'll complete further placements in a variety of settings with the opportunity to arrange your final eight-week placement elsewhere in the UK or overseas, subject to approval. You’ll be responsible for covering any additional travel and accommodation costs you incur. You'll also begin preparing for your transition into the workplace.
