It's not too late to apply to Occupational Therapy in Clearing. Our courses provide the knowledge to empower people to meaningfully engage in activities that improve their lives and overcome significant challenges.
In a nutshell, occupational therapy is about therapeutically enabling people with physical, mental, social and occupational challenges to do everyday activities and to lead fulfilling lives.
There’s no one-size-fits-all definition of what this can entail though, and that’s part of what makes it such a satisfying career. You could work in a diverse range of settings including: hospitals, clinics, prisons, hospices, care farms, supported accommodation, charitable organisations, government departments, schools… and the list goes on.
Here at Essex, you’ll learn about the relationship between occupational engagement and health and well-being. This will inform how occupation can be used therapeutically to enable people to lead full and satisfying lives.
When you choose to study with us, you'll gain more than just a qualification. You'll be part of our learning community, and we've got plenty to offer. We offer BSc Occupational Therapy as a three-year course, or as an apprenticeship (for those in employment within a relevant role and with support from their employer). For those who have already studied at undergraduate level, we also offer MSc Occupational Therapy which is also a pre-registration course.
