Overview
The BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy apprenticeship prepares you to support people of all ages to engage in the activities that are meaningful to them. Grounded in the belief that occupation and wellbeing are closely linked, the course develops your ability to use occupation both as a goal and as a key tool for intervention. You’ll learn how to enable participation by promoting new skills, adapting environments, and modifying occupations to meet individual needs. As an apprentice, you’ll spend 80% of your time learning in the workplace, with the remainder spent at university or on practice placements. You’ll be taught by experienced academic staff who maintain professional practice through honorary contracts with local health and social care providers. People with lived experience of health and social care services are fully integrated into teaching, learning, and assessment, providing valuable insights and perspectives throughout the course.
