The curriculum focuses on enabling individuals to participate in meaningful everyday activities (occupations) across the lifespan, addressing physical, psychological, and environmental factors. Students will develop skills in assessment, intervention planning, and therapeutic techniques through theoretical learning and practical placements in various healthcare and community settings, preparing them to meet the standards required by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) in the UK.

Career options for graduates of this program are as registered occupational therapists in a wide range of settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, mental health services, community health teams, schools, social services, and private practice.
