Student placement experiences

You'll do three modules of Practice Placement in three work settings

Practice placements encourage you to take the occuaptional therapy theory you've learned and apply it to real life situations. You'll work with qualified occupational therapists, who are trained to assess and develop your practical skills.

During your placement you'll meet with a visiting tutor from the Practice Placement team. They're here to support you through your placement.

For more information please contact the lead tutor for Practice Placement, Mrs Sian Burgess on s.d.burgess@derby.ac.uk.
