Occupational Therapy

About this course

Occupational therapy is the health profession concerned with enabling people to engage in the activities and occupations that give their lives purpose, meaning, and structure. When illness, injury, disability, or the effects of ageing make daily activities difficult or impossible, occupational therapists work with people to find ways to participate in the tasks that matter to them, whether those are self-care activities, work, study, leisure, or social participation. The profession draws on anatomy, physiology, psychology, sociology, and environmental design, applying a holistic and person-centred approach that recognises that occupation, the meaningful things people do each day, is central to health and wellbeing. At the University of Bedfordshire, this three-year full-time programme leads to registration as an occupational therapist with the Health and Care Professions Council. Studen
