Studying Occupational Therapy part-time is fantastic, as it allows for me to continue working in my practice setting, whilst undertaking my studies. Since starting, I have been able to apply learning from the course to my daily practical role of Occupational Therapy Assistant; the course has helped to increase my confidence and inform my practice as a practitioner.
With the course taking 5 years to complete, the pace at which you are introduced to new modules is slower than would be expected on the full-time course; you often find yourself studying one module at a time, rather than studying several simultaneously, which can be less demanding! This, I believe, has reduced the risk of me becoming overwhelmed and has allowed for me to learn at a relatively relaxed pace.
