Why study Bachelor of Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy is concerned with the extent to which people can perform the daily activities that make up their occupation, in the contexts of self-care, work or leisure. Clients may be individuals, small groups, organisations or communities. In this course, students divide their time between classes on campus and fieldwork placements. Students study basic human biosciences, behavioural health sciences and occupational sciences. As they progress through the course, students apply their skills to occupational-therapy practice, working under supervision in fieldwork settings. Students with a minimum 75 per cent cumulative grade average, and who are ranked in the top 10 per cent at the end of year 2 of the bachelor's degree, will be eligible to be admitted into the honours course. The honours course provides students with the opportunity to enhance their research skills and undertake a supervised research project. No additional period of study is required for the awarding of honours in this degree.
