The courses are expected to draw the attention of aspiring therapists, who will be pleased to learn that they can now study both options at the specialist health sciences university in Bournemouth.

Applicants can come from a variety of health sciences backgrounds and will look to apply their previous experience and learning into a challenging, innovative learning environment.

Head of the School of Rehabilitation, Sport and Psychology Stewart Cotterill said;

“I’m delighted that both our Speech and Language Therapy and our Occupational Therapy courses are now open for applications. These courses have been developed and launched in direct response to the need of our local healthcare profession. We have worked closely with both our local NHS trusts and private practices to ensure the curriculum for these new courses is well aligned to their needs. As a result, we will be developing Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists who will be work-ready in a breadth of employment opportunities in the local region.”
