Master of Occupational Therapy

Prepare yourself for professional practice as an occupational therapist. Occupational therapy aims to promote the health and participation of people, organisations and populations through engagement in everyday activities or occupations. This profession has well established research and evidence-based practice, which you will analyse and apply in this course. Teaching for the course is strongly connected to clinical settings across Adelaide and has close links with health care providers to best prepare you for professional practice as an occupational therapist. Emphasis is placed on preparing you to become a contemporary health professional who is able to work effectively across a range of settings in metropolitan and rural or remote locations. Occupational therapists work in a variety of settings across public health, non-government organisations and private practice. Occupational therapists are in demand across the health sector and this outlook is projected to continue.
