Occupational Therapy (Pre-registration) MSci Brunel University of London

Do you want a career where you help people live fuller, more independent lives?
Are you looking for a degree that combines practical experience, academic depth and clear career progression? If that sounds like you, the Occupational Therapy MSci at Brunel could be the right place to start.

Occupational Therapy at Brunel is one of the longest established, and most highly regarded programmes of its kind. Founded in 1934 as the original London School of Occupational Therapy, Brunel has been at the heart of the profession for over 90 years.

Our four-year Occupational Therapy MSci is an integrated master’s degree, designed for students who want more than a standard undergraduate qualification. You’ll follow Brunel’s well-established occupational therapy undergraduate degree for the first three years, before moving into an advanced fourth year that deepens your professional, research and leadership skills. You’ll graduate with the knowledge, confidence and capability expected of a modern occupational therapist - and the added value of a master’s-level qualification.

From your first year, you’ll learn by doing. Based in the Mary Seacole Building, you’ll study and practise in realistic clinical settings, including purpose-built skills suites, rehabilitation and movement labs, anatomy facilities and high-spec simulation spaces. You’ll work with peers, staff and visiting service users, building confidence long before you graduate.

Throughout your studies, you’ll explore what it really means to help people live full, meaningful lives. And how occupational therapy makes that possible across health, social care and community settings, while developing the professional integrity and compassion the role demands.

This course is aligned to the NHS values, shaped by interprofessional learning and grounded in person-centred, evidence-informed practice. It's accredited by the Royal College of Occupational Therapists and the World Federation of Occupational Therapists, and meets international regulatory standards. This means, by the time you graduate, you won’t just be ready to register and practise - you’ll be ready to lead, question and improve services in a changing world.
