Occupational Therapy BSc | City St George's, University of London

You are viewing our beta course page.

Course summary

On our HCPC and RCOT accredited degree, learning is very much hands-on, developing your communication skills and preparing you for practice.

By combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience, this course explores concepts, principles and theories of occupational therapy and occupational science, human development, anatomy, physiology and psychology to develop a strong foundation to practice as an Occupational Therapist (OT).

You’ll quickly realise that no day is ever the same for an ‘OT’ – you may find yourself helping someone rehabilitate after major surgery, or providing the adaptations which enable the elderly stay in their own homes, or supporting someone with mental illness, addiction or learning disabilities.

Over the course of three years, you will spend 1000 hours (approximately a third of the programme) on placement. Our placements are in and around London and include a diverse range of settings (for example, acute healthcare trusts, community settings, schools, local authorities, social enterprises, charities and non-traditional placements).

Accreditation
Health & Care Professionals Council (HCPC), Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) and World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT)

Course highlights

Time spent on placement within a diverse range of settings such as acute and community hospitals, schools and forensics units.

Accredited by the Health & Care Professionals Council (HCPC) and Royal College of Occupational Therapists.

Hi everyone! I'm Jenna, a first-year student at Urdang, where I'm pursuing my passion for Professional Dance and Musical Theatre.

My greatest passions are dancing, acting, and singing. When I'm not on stage or in the studio, you might find me exploring the outdoors, travelling with friends, or watching a film in the cinema. I am so excited to share more of my journey and connect with you all!
