Occupational Therapy

Overview

The Occupational Therapy programme offered by Jönköping University  offers choice and flexibility to occupational therapists worldwide. It is a web-based programme given in English, offering flexibility to study anywhere in the world. Students can also choose to study part-time (50% study pace), allowing for combination with work, or full-time (100% study pace) and complete the programme within four or two years, respectively.

The programme provides you knowledge to critically and systematically integrate theory and evidence in occupational therapy. You will also learn to analyse, assess, and handle complex phenomena, problems, and situations through assignments in the courses. The courses within the programme focus on evidence-based practice in occupational therapy, occupation in relation to health, occupational science, scientific methods, and sustainable health promotion and community development through collaborations.

After Graduation

After completing the programme, you will have in-depth knowledge on sustainable evidence-based practice and theories that you can apply to work in various settings, such as government sectors, home healthcare, hospitals and rehabilitation centres, occupational health care, private practice, schools, and social care. Additionally, you become eligible for doctoral education that can start your research or teaching career. If you are an occupational therapist in Sweden, the master's degree can allow you to pursue specialization in a field in occupational therapy.
