On our postgraduate degree in occupational therapy, you'll learn the theory and practice related to the profession and the underpinning recognition that every individual has the right to live a fulfilling life with meaningful occupation.
You'll also explore global health perspectives through engagement with the evidence base, exploration of policy and clinical practice. This will enable you to practice effectively in a range of social-cultural contexts, and with due consideration of individual needs and those of the wider healthcare community.
You'll participate in interprofessional education in both the University and in clinical practice settings, which will develop your team working, analytical, reasoning and judgement skills.
