Occupational Therapy

About this course

Occupational therapy is a health and social care profession concerned with enabling people to participate in the activities that are meaningful and necessary to them, despite the challenges posed by physical illness, injury, mental health conditions, developmental differences, or the effects of ageing. Occupational therapists take a holistic view of the people they work with, recognising that wellbeing depends on the ability to engage in everyday occupations, from personal care and work to leisure, social relationships, and creative pursuits. The profession is built on the belief that meaningful activity is central to health, and that removing barriers to participation improves outcomes in ways that clinical treatment alone cannot achieve. At the University of Northampton, this three-year full-time degree leads to registration with the Health and Care Professions Council and membership
