Course content

Taught by experts in both public and private healthcare organisations, this Degree Apprenticeship is designed to produce Occupational Therapists who have advanced theoretical knowledge, are autonomous, reflective, ethical and fit for practice.

Occupational therapists work with people who are unable to lead full lives for various reasons. They may have difficulty with essential everyday skills such as dressing, eating and cooking, or the aspects of life that define us, such as our jobs, leisure interests and relationships.

A practical approach to learning means that apprentices apply their knowledge to solve real-world case scenarios in clinical settings. They develop practical skills in our Daily Living Suite in specialist rooms that are equipped for learning about and adapting activities of daily living, and for therapeutic activities such as crafts and gardening. A focus on interdisciplinary learning enriches apprentices experiences while preparing them for the reality of professional practice.

By meeting all learning outcomes of the programme, apprentices are eligible to apply for registration as an Occupational Therapist in the UK with the Health and Care Professions Council.
