On occasion, programmes can be exempted from one or more of the clauses in the General Academic Regulations, or one or more of the clauses can be varied.

The programmes listed have approval from the Academic Quality and Standards Committee for the exemptions and/or variations to the regulations noted below.
Additional requirements are also listed.
| Exemptions |
| The clause(s) listed below describe where an exemption to the General Regulations exists. |

Programmes which lead to registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) are exempt from clauses 3.1, 3.3 under section 3 and clauses 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 under section 4 of the Progression, Determination and Classification of Results for Undergraduate and Integrated Masters Programmes in order to meet professional requirements. |

The programme is partially exempt from section 3.1 with regard to practice modules.

Any outstanding practice modules must be successfully completed by the end of the following placement period. |

|
| Additional Requirements |

All modules once, once selected, are core. |

Practice Placement Referral:
A student will normally be required to retrieve a referred practice experience assessment on one further occasion if he/she refers a practice experience assessment. In accordance with the College of Occupational Therapists, students are permitted only one retrieval of each practice experience, therefore failure at a practice experience/placement will normally result in termination of their programme. |
| |
Successful completion of all elements of this programme provides eligibility to apply for registration with the HCPC. It is a legal requirement that anyone who wishes to practice using a title protected by the Health Professions Order 2001 is on the HCPC Register. |
| |
To qualify for the award of the degree of Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Occupational Therapy candidates must be of good character and worthy of admission to the HCPC register. |
| |

| Disclaimer |
| As a research-led University, we undertake a continuous review of our programmes to ensure quality enhancement and to manage our resources. As a result, these regulations may be revised during a student's period of registration, however, any revision will be balanced against the requirement that the student should receive the educational service expected. Please read our Disclaimer to see why, when and how changes may be made to a student's programme. |
