Subject Taster Day: Occupational Therapy

Your students will take part in an interactive workshop in their chosen subject area; gain an understanding of the different teaching methods used by university academics and see at first hand the academic facilities available to them. They will also be able to meet some current Coventry University students and get an inside view from them about the CU experience.

Occupational Therapists work with people of all ages, helping them to carry out the activities that they need or want to do in order to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. Occupational Therapists work with people who have physical, mental and/or social needs, either from birth or as a result of accident, illness or ageing. Their aim is to enable people to achieve as much as they can for themselves, so they get the most out of life.

When people cannot do things which are important to them – such as getting dressed, having a shower, going to work, socialising, or undertaking a favourite hobby – an Occupational Therapist can help them manage their challenges, based on each individual person’s needs and lifestyle.

Places on Subject Taster Days are limited and most only offer 20 spaces, such as the Performing Arts, Media and Health subjects. However the Design courses do have the capacity to facilitate larger numbers. To avoid disappointment book early, by clicking onto our website and completing a booking form.

IMPORTANT: Bookings for Subject Taster Days must be made on a group basis by the school or college. We cannot accept individual bookings. We require a ratio of at least 1 teacher for every 15 students booked on. Please contact us if you have any queries about the booking process.
