Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists work closely with people who have an illness, injury or disability to help them live their lives to their full potential. You could be helping a child with a learning disability, supporting a young person with anorexia, or aiding an older person in recovering from a stroke.

University of East Anglia Occupational Therapy two-year full-time course will enable you to deliver excellent, person-centred, inter-professional practice. You’ll learn how to apply professional reasoning, drawing on human sciences, occupational therapy theory, psychology, sociology and creativity. Our case-based and active learning approaches will shape your understanding of the profession.

Your time with us will be split between university-based learning and practice-based learning. Our dedicated placements team works closely with our practice partners to set up a balanced range of placement experiences for you.
