Overview

Occupational therapists (OTs) help people of all ages improve their quality of life and overcome barriers that affect their everyday activities.

This 2.5 year Occupational Therapy Studies offered at the University of Queensland focuses on the practice of occupational therapy, emphasising the use of prior skills and knowledge to enhance the effectiveness of OT practice and the development of advanced adult learning skills for ongoing professional development.
