Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours)

Program Overview

It's easy to take our daily activities for granted, like brushing our teeth, going to work or getting out of bed. Workplace injuries, chronic illness, disability and mental health issues can change our ability to do these things independently, impacting our quality of life.

La Trobe's Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours) provides you with the clinical knowledge, professional skills and industry connections needed to launch your career.

A combination of tutorials, workshops, practical experience, online learning and 1000 hours of professional placements will enable you to use evidence-based occupational therapy assessments and interventions with people of all ages that improve their health and wellbeing.

Anatomy Fundamentals: Gain essential knowledge of human anatomy, physiology and function.
Special needs practice: Learn the best treatment options for people with special needs and chronic conditions.
Therapy for every stage of life: Master techniques to help patients during each stage of their life.
