Occupational Therapy
Hi everyone, I was thinking of applying for OT and I just wanted to know what the degree was like and the job opportunities after degree. Also is it a good degree and profession to get into? The universities that I'm looking at are Coventry and Derby.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'm a 1st year BSc OT student.
Job opportunities are great as it's considered a shortage occupation. It's one of the few healthcare degrees where you can have a job secured in Year 3 before you even graduate.

Something that is often overlooked with Occupational Therapy is the scope to support people with their mental health as well as their physical health if that is something that interests you 🙂 So you could be working with people around depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), addiction, and co-occurring disorders to manage their conditions and regain their ability to take part in the everyday activities that make up daily life.
