Occupational Therapy (Pre-Registration)

The Occupational Therapy (Pre-Registration) program at Brunel University of London provides a master’s level route for you to become an occupational therapist. The course integrates theory with practice.

Our Mary Seacole Building is purpose-built for occupational therapy and physiotherapy. The rooms reflect the type of clinical environment that you will work in as an occupational therapist. You’ll learn your practical skills here so that you’ll be confident and experienced in time for your first placement.
