Occupational Therapy | Bsc (hons) in Leeds Beckett University

Course Details

Occupational therapists enable people with health and social difficulties to engage in activities that are meaningful and important to them.

Through a combination of teaching, group work and 1,000 hours of placement experience in a variety of health and social care settings, this course will challenge your problem-solving and practical skills.

You will develop the skills and knowledge to deliver occupational therapy assessments and devise interventions to help your clients enjoy an optimal quality of life. You will also learn the soft skills, attitudes and behaviours to enable you to communicate effectively and develop a therapeutic relationship with the people you help. Your curriculum will reflect the standards required by the Royal College of Occupational Therapists.

Upon graduation, you will be eligible to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council as an occupational therapist.

Course Benefits

Occupational therapists help people of all ages with a variety of health and social difficulties – these can include enabling someone to go back to work following a period of depression, play sport following a head injury, or helping children with autism play games.

You will learn in a multi-disciplinary environment, which replicates the challenges of real-life clinical practice. You will apply what you have learned in a variety of settings, thanks to our strong partnerships with local placement providers, which include teaching hospitals and mental health trusts.

There are opportunities for a placement where traditionally there is no provision of occupational therapy services, allowing you to analyse the setting and apply your expertise independently, which could open up new employment opportunities.

You will learn from an experienced teaching team who come from a range of clinical and research backgrounds. Some have worked with young children with mental health difficulties while others have specialised in working with adults with motor neuron disease. You will also be able to gain clinical insight and experience from our guest speakers, who include specialists in treating spinal injuries and therapeutic practitioners.
