Occupational therapy MSc

Hello, I am considering whether to do the MSc or the BSc in OT ... can anyone let me know of the intensity of the MSc please ?
I have dyslexia and dyspraxia and am toiling whether which one would be more suitable for my needs.

Thankyou !

Do you mean the pre-reg masters (usually a 2-year version of the BSc) or an integrated masters (a 4-year course)? Both masters courses and the BSc course would get you to the same place - band 5 jobs in the NHS. The BSc is likely to be less intense than the pre-reg masters so might be the better option for you.

Hey i know its quite random but, i chose OT as my masters at Sheffield hallam university…..as i’ll be starting the course in jan 2025 which books would you recommend regarding occupational therapy as masters level to throughly get my concepts clear for my upcoming degree?
