Occupational therapists play a key role in helping people regain, maintain or improve their participation in life. Often they work with people whose ability to take part in life has been impacted by injury, disability, or illness. Occupational therapists also work with individuals and groups whose ability and freedom to take part in life are restricted by other circumstances. This includes those who are detained in prison, or in immigration centers, as well as people who are homeless or are refugees. Our MSc Occupational Therapy (Pre-registration) is an accelerated qualifying program for graduates with a suitable and relevant first degree; it is not suitable for qualified Occupational Therapists. Successful completion of the course gives you eligibility to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council and membership of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (subject to approvals).
