Course Overview

It is a programme designed to support practitioners to develop and advance their practice across a variety of contexts.

Are you a qualified occupational therapist looking to develop your knowledge and evolve or change your career direction? This highly respected course offers an excellent opportunity to help you fulfill your career goals and you can study full-time or part-time to fit in with your current commitments.

As a student on this programme you will develop your knowledge of the evidence-based for/of practice and deepen your critical thinking, professional reasoning, and research skills. We have designed it to suit occupational therapists from a wide range of settings and to give you the support you need to redefine your career as an advanced practitioner in education, research, leadership, policy, or practice.

The MSc Advancing Practice in Occupational Therapy is embedded as an integrated pathway on an existing master’s framework for person-centered practice (see page 126), which affords equal attention to both the philosophy of occupation and of person-centredness. This framework offers a student-centered approach to education, fostered through three approaches to learning: experiential and collaborative learning, critical discourse, and evidence-based teaching.

Specifically, the MSc programme aims to ensure the centrality of occupation as part of therapists’ postgraduate education and, in so doing, responds to the strategic drivers for change towards advanced and person-centered practice in global health and social care. Educationally, it will address philosophical concepts from occupational science and person-centered practice that will be blended throughout the programme to facilitate learning at the master’s level.
