Description

You will spend half your time on the course studying theory and research, and half on practice placements. Placements are designed to enable your competence to develop in terms of hands-on occupational therapy skills.

Your first year will involve an introductory fieldwork experience, followed by fieldwork of increasing length. This will ensure you gain the minimum of 1,000 hours of supervised practice.

Throughout the practice experience you will be supported by a practice placement educator.
