Overview

The delivery of the BSc in Occupational Therapy (Hons) from University of Wolverhampton draws on key concepts of theory and practice, including collaboration, creativity and research to facilitate your development into a competent, confident and resilient Occupational Therapist who views people as occupational beings.

We believe in a strengths-based approach to education and your academic educators will draw on their own area of practice, educational and research expertise, as Occupational Therapists to bring your learning journey to life.

Educational Aims of the Course

You will learn to appreciate the importance of occupation to the health and well-being of individuals, families and communities and understand how occupational performance is influenced by environmental factors. There will be opportunity to think creatively, solve problems, analyse complex situations effectively to develop tailored and innovative interventions in order to facilitate therapeutic change and transformation.

It is important to develop a sense of self-efficacy, enhanced personal and professional insight and the ability to empower and facilitate others to make choices, to take control and responsibility over their lives and aspirations. Aligned with the Royal College of Occupational Therapists four Pillars of Practice (RCOT, 2017), this programme will provide a combination of theory based and practical experience supported by academic and practice educators with relevant expertise who will support your development as confident, compassionate and skilled Occupational Therapist.
