    About

    This graduate entry master course offers you a fast-track option to becoming an occupational therapist.

    In this course you will develop knowledge of four broad areas:

    • Medical, psychiatric, orthopaedic and neurological conditions that affect the health and wellbeing of individuals.
    • The theory and practice of occupational therapy including the study of occupation and analysis of the physical, psychological and social requirements of a variety of skills and activities.
    • Human development covering normal growth and development within the life cycle along with problems such as learning disabilities and the effects of ageing.
    • Occupational health and management, including prevention, education and rehabilitation programs for a variety of workplaces.

    Please note: Essential learning strategies demand that all students have the ability to disrobe appropriately, have the ability to participate fully and are willing to act as patients/clients for their peer group and as mock patients for other students.

    This course has an earlier application deadline. Please visit theapplication deadlines pagefor further information.
