Imagine the satisfaction of helping people reach their true potential, take control of their lives and participate fully in the world around them. With an MSc Occupational Therapy from GCU, that’s exactly what you’ll do. Occupational therapists are skilled professionals who help people of all ages to carry out activities made difficult by physical or mental illness, disability or ageing.
Approved by the Health and Care Professions Council and accredited by both the College of Occupational Therapists and the World Federation of Occupational Therapists, our programme will broaden your experience and give you new insight into caring for patients.
As a graduate of any discipline, you can get a world-class education in occupational therapy with an internationally recognised curriculum. Train in both theory and practice, and prepare to contribute to the common good while also making a positive impact on your future career.
All applicants will be considered on their individual merits and academic preparedness for this programme, however there are two identified entry routes to the programme:
Route 1:
A recent (in the last five years) first class or upper second honours degree (or equivalent) in health, behavioural or social sciences
A grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or above (for graduates of non-UK institutions)
Route 2 Entry via Negotiate Learning Module:
A second entry route to the programme, which may require completion of the Negotiate Learning Module, is available for applicants who:
Have not studied in the last five years
Have a lower second or third class honours degree (or a GPA lower than 3.0 for international applicants)
Have an unclassified degree with relevant work experience
Have studied a discipline outwith the health, behavioural or social sciences
The Negotiate Learning Module is an online module which is completed at distance between August and November prior to admission.
