What you can study here
Nottingham Trent University teaches 2 allied health professions at pre-registration level, training occupational therapists and paramedics. 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.
No typical offer has been published in the open data for any course at this provider, so this page does not state one. Grades, tariff points and interview requirements change year to year and the university’s own course pages are the only reliable version — each course below links straight to its record.
