The Occupational Therapy course at Bradford is part of a larger local Occupational Therapy education provision in West Yorkshire. The collaboration between 3 local Universities to establish the provision of Occupational Therapy education was developed in response to the growing need for qualified Occupational Therapists within the local area. This collaboration resulted in Occupational Therapy programmes at Bradford, Leeds Metropolitan and Huddersfield Universities. The three Universities have many values in common, but different strengths, such as modes of teaching and educational philosophies in learning, teaching and assessment; these will facilitate the development of newly qualified Occupational Therapists who have subtly different strengths.
