About Postgraduate Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists support those recovering from illness, disability, trauma, and other ailments that affect daily life. They’re fundamental in delivering treatment that allows patients to build and maintain rich, independent lives. Students of this subject will train as clinical professionals, using their knowledge of physiology and physiotherapy to help people get the most out of life.

There are more than 100 postgraduate programmes in occupational therapy at over 50 universities in the UK. Aspiring practitioners may pursue a master’s in advanced professional practice, while those interested in research could pursue a PhD.

What to expect

The entry requirements for postgraduate studies in occupational therapy vary depending on the university and course but you’ll usually need a related science degree or have strong relevant work experience.

Typical areas covered include practical approaches to rehabilitation and treatment, ways to promote long-term health and well-being and the use of assistive equipment to aid patient recovery.

Once you’ve graduated as an occupational therapist, you need to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) before practising professionally.

You could work for the NHS, a private health clinic or set up as a self-employed practitioner. If you’re employed by the NHS, you’ll usually start on band 5, currently £28,407. Alternatively, you might use your qualification to go into research or teaching.
