Occupational therapy

The Bachelor of Occupational Therapy is a full-time, four-year course which qualifies graduates to practise as entry-level occupational therapists in Australia and overseas. The course is based at the Peninsula campus.

The curriculum uses a combination of traditional and scenario-based learning and teaching methods and incorporates knowledge from the disciplines of occupational science as well as biomedical, behavioural and social sciences.

Each year of the course includes a fieldwork placement in a metropolitan or regional location. Students complete a total of 1000 hours of fieldwork education by the completion of their course, as required by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT).
