Learning is active, practical and collaborative. Much of your learning takes place on campus through workshops, simulation, practical classes and case-based learning, where you'll work alongside your peers and experienced educators to develop the knowledge, professional reasoning, communication and practical skills needed for contemporary occupational therapy practice.
Your learning is carefully scaffolded to progressively build your capability as an occupational therapist. Beginning with the foundations of occupation, participation and professional practice, you'll progress to advanced assessment, intervention, leadership and innovation through increasingly complex learning experiences that connect theory with practice.
From your first year, you'll apply your learning through work-integrated learning across health, disability, education and community settings. As your confidence grows, you'll participate in extensive practice education, developing the capability to work with people across the lifespan in a diverse range of practice contexts.
Throughout the degree, you'll learn alongside experienced occupational therapists, people with lived experience and students from other disciplines. These partnerships broaden your perspective, strengthen your teamwork and communication skills, and prepare you to collaborate across professions to meet the changing needs of people and communities.
