As with many health care programmes, where you study does not impact on your future employability. How you maximise your studies, and capitalise on opportunities during your course, will have a far greater impact on your future job prospects. Once you have successfully completed your occupational therapy programme, you need to register with the Health and Care Professions Council in order to practice as an occupational therapist in the UK. The universities who deliver occupational therapy programmes can be found on pp. 9-10 in the Career Handbook: Download the RCOT Career Handbook RCOT Career Handbook 2021-22 (PDF, 2.37MB) MORE INFORMATION Tips for your occupational therapy application Tips for your occupational therapy application ARTICLE What's it like to study occupational therapy?
