Our MSD in Occupational Therapy offers you a unique opportunity to undertake research in a variety of health and organisational contexts. You may be interested in sensory integration outcomes for adults following brain injury, management of people experiencing dementia in their local communities or occupational justice issues in exploited or minority populations, but whatever your specific research interests we are likely to have a supervisor with the experience to support you in this process.<br>This MSD is offered on a 1 year full-time or 2 year part-time basis, plus up to one year of completion. Some people choose to do an MSD before applying to undertake a PhD in order to develop their research skills and knowledge and to demonstrate their self-discipline and time management skills to potential supervisors or funders.<br>The School of Health and Social Care is proud to work closely with our Service User Reference Group (SURG). SURG is made up of service users, carers, and volunteers who generously share their first-hand experiences of health and social care.<br><br>Our Graduates have gone on to take up posts in both clinical and management positions in Trusts, hospitals and care organisations as well as in local and county councils.
