BSc (Hons) Occupational Therapy Accelerated at University of Sunderland

University of Sunderland, United Kingdom

Programme overview

Occupational therapists help people undertake the 'occupations' they want or need to do. An occupation is any type of meaningful activity we do in our everyday lives. This includes going to work, leisure activities, and looking after ourselves. A condition, illness, injury, ability, or state of mind can affect how we take part in activities. Occupational therapists help by modifying these activities. They can teach new skills or strategies, adapt the environment, or use a combination of these.
