Operating Department Practice, BSc Hons FullTime

It is a unique career path that many people are not aware from. You get the chance to get real life experiences from your placements over the 3 years at the hospital. The lectures and staff of the course are very supportive and helpful with getting things done as soon as possible. Now, there is a new building decorated to healthcare courses such as Operating Department Practitioners that include new equipments and tools to help ODP students to learn whilst not at placement. Overall this course is very rewarding and with almost certain job prospects right after graduation.

Love this course, teachers are passionate about what they do, with some being practising counsellors and therapists. The skills sessions are incredibly helpful for practicing skills learnt in the lectures, and the lecturers work hard to make sure that everyone is comfortable within these sessions read more

Occupational Therapy, BSc Hons FullTime

Occupational therapy is an amazing course but underrated medical practice. We are taught how to empower and support people who have experienced medical difficulties, back to doing the activities or 'occupations' that mean the most to them. All of the lectures have previous Occupational therapy experience which they can use to promote the career and give realistic examples to modules. read more

People think it’s just cutting nails. Its so much more. As our professor said its like a half medical degree. You get so much to do than cutting nails. I randomly started a project and was selected on its basis. But I love my course. read more

My tutors on my course were fantastic and I personally had a fab tutor that provides support in the tough times. In terms of course content I found that there may need to be more contact time in third year as having so much independent study was quite difficult. I also attended a practice interview and tutor session when I got a job interview which was very helpful. read more
