This program aims to develop highly competent and autonomous occupational therapy graduates skilled in inter-professional and client-centred practice. To achieve this, the program will be informed by contemporary health research and occupational theories tailored to meet local, national and global community needs. Additionally graduates will develop their research competence by planning and implementing a small research project.

The Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours) is a four year degree consisting of 26 courses, taught in English, which normally takes four years of full time study. The program structure requires successful completion of all core courses in the principles of anatomy and physiology of the upper and lower limbs, and how they relate and interact with the other elements that form the practice of occupational therapy. It also requires successful completion of three courses in clinical occupational therapy practice.
