Students will be eligible to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and apply for membership of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) upon graduation. The University of Cumbria's graduates have an excellent reputation making them sought after by a multitude of employers including the NHS, councils, private, voluntary and independent sector organisations.
In this course students will:
- Work in small groups with their peers, developing teamwork and networking skills, with the opportunity to collaborate and engage with clinicians and service users.
- Have placement experiences in a range of settings including the NHS and role emerging placements alongside qualified clinicians.
- Develop analytical and research skills to support their practice as an evidence-based Occupational Therapist.
- Develop their practical skills in the purpose built 'home' rooms and simulation laboratories. They will have the opportunity to gain confidence and skills outside of their placements.
