BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy

Our Occupational Therapy course will enable you to become a qualified occupational therapist who is able to help create solutions to everyday problems experienced by the people or communities who access your services. Once you have successfully completed the course you will be eligible to apply for registration as an occupational therapist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

You will work with people and communities to enable them to carry out everyday activities (getting dressed, working, shopping, studying, playing sport). We will support you to become a confident, compassionate practitioner who can adapt to the changing world we live in and contemplate working in new emerging occupational therapy roles.

You will also have the opportunity to achieve the CMI Level 5 Certificate in Management and Leadership as part of your course. We are the only university to offer this, and our focus is empowering leaders of the future. This prestigious qualification will enhance your career prospects by giving you the skills, knowledge, and recognition to thrive in healthcare leadership.

At CCCU we challenge the traditional boundaries of occupational therapy practice; we provide you with the knowledge, understanding, and tools you will need to promote occupational justice for individuals and communities.

We have a state of the art simulation suite that will provide you with many opportunities to practice your clinical skills throughout your course. These sessions will prepare you for your practice placements and future employment. On your practice placements you will be supervised by occupational therapists in a range of health and social care environments.
