MSC OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
For occupational therapists wanting to continue their professional development and develop evidence-based practice. If you want to deepen your understanding of the value of occupational therapy, this master's course may be for you. It has been acknowledged internationally that we need to be able to show the benefits of our special approach to health and everyday living through research. Master's level study is essential if you want to gain the skills to evaluate your interventions, build professional confidence and seek out (and develop) existing theories which inform your practice.
This course is one of the few in the UK specialising in occupational therapy, and it has been especially designed to meet your needs as a practising therapist. Based on a sound approach to adult education, the course invites students to bring issues from practice to analyse in class. Some modules are more self-directed with less frequent attendance. Each module is designed to gradually develop the skills of reflective practice and scientific evaluation.
MSC OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY (Pre-Registration)
This course enables students with a first degree to become competent occupational therapists eligible to apply for registration with the Health Professions Council, for membership of the British Association of Occupational Therapists/College of Occupational Therapists and be equipped for lifelong, safe and effective practice within the global marketplace.
MSC HAND THERAPY (Approved in Principle)
The programme’s overall aim is to provide professional and personal development for occupational therapists and physiotherapists by offering a Master's level qualification in hand therapy together with enhanced competency and eligibility to apply for accreditation with the British Association of Hand Therapists (BAHT). This is one of the first programmes of this nature in the UK.
MSC VISION IMPAIRMENT REHABILITATION (Approved in Principle)
The MSc aims to provide health and social care professionals with a Master's level qualification together with enhanced competency to work with visually impaired people in a therapeutic and rehabilitative capacity. The programme offers the option of a Postgraduate Certificate without the requirement to continue to Master's.
It was developed in partnership with Guide Dogs for the Blind Association (GDBA) and is one of the first programmes of this nature in the UK.
