Course summary
100% of our Occupational Therapy students were in jobs or further study 15 months after completing their studies.
(Graduate Outcomes Survey 2025)
Our Occupational Therapy course will enable you to become a qualified occupational therapist who is able to help create solutions to everyday problems experienced by the people or communities who access your services. Once you have successfully completed the course you will be eligible to apply for registration as an occupational therapist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
You will work with people and communities to enable them to carry out everyday activities (getting dressed, working, shopping, studying, playing sport). We will support you to become a confident, compassionate practitioner who can adapt to the changing world we live in and contemplate working in new emerging occupational therapy roles.
At CCCU we challenge the traditional boundaries of occupational therapy practice; we provide you with the knowledge, understanding, and tools you will need to promote occupational justice for individuals and communities.
Professional accreditation
The degree is currently approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), accredited by the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) and approved by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists.
To be eligible to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council you must demonstrate good health and good character throughout your studies. You will be required annually to sign a 'declaration of ongoing fitness to practise'.
Specialist facilities
As a healthcare student, you will have access to our specialist, industry-relevant, simulation facilities. The state of the art simulation suite allows you to practice your clinical skills in a fully-equipped, realistic environment, including hospital wards and a flat. These sessions will prepare you for your practice placements and future employment.
