The school is a multidisciplinary centre for education and research in the professions allied to medicine. It hosts some of the university's most popular courses in occupational therapy, physiotherapy and podiatry.
Clinical placement is a key element of all our courses.
We are also pioneering the delivery of courses on the Internet. Research for all three disciplines is carried out through the Clinical Research Unit. Our innovative pre-registration problem based learning course offers a combined postgraduate diploma and MSc award to those who have a first degree in a related discipline. This leads to state registration as an Occupational Therapist with the Health Professions Council. Specialist teaching facilities include a daily living laboratory and occupational therapy laboratory, and a creative skills workshop.
