About this course

Occupational therapy is a health profession concerned with enabling people to engage in the activities, or occupations, that are meaningful to them.

The profession works with people across the entire lifespan in a wide range of settings including hospitals, community services, schools, mental health teams, and residential care. At Glasgow Caledonian University, this four-year full-time programme leads to registration with the Health and Care
