Module Requirements

Corequisites for module None.
Precluded Modules None.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
Academic modules which involve key practical clinical content have an 80% attendance requirement. This is essential in order to develop the professionalism required of an occupational therapist and to ensure that students are competent for clinical placement. Failure to meet the minimum of 80% attendance at first attempt of the module will normally lead to a fail and the requirement to return the next year to complete the module as a second diet attempt. If a student fails to have a provisional pass in any module which is a prerequisite to a practice placement they will be withdrawn from the subsequent placement. Failure to meet 80% attendance on a second diet attempt will normally lead to a fail for the course.
