What you can study here
Leeds Beckett University teaches 4 allied health professions at pre-registration level, training dietitians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and speech and language therapists. Every course listed on this page is approved by its regulator, which is what makes it count: finishing an approved course is what entitles you to apply for registration, and registration is what lets you hold the protected title and be appointed to the job.
Two ways in run side by side here. The undergraduate degree is the standard entry route from school or college; the pre-registration master’s is the accelerated route for people who already hold a relevant degree, and it compresses the same regulated content — including the placement hours — into a shorter, harder programme. Course lengths here range from 2 years to 3 years.
A typical offer is published for 2 of the 11 courses here and not for the 9 others, so those rows are left blank rather than filled in with a guess. Where an offer is published, treat it as the shape of the offer rather than a guarantee — these courses are interviewed, and they carry DBS and occupational health requirements on top of the grades. 2 courses carry a UCAS code, so they are applied for through the central system rather than direct to the university.
