Master of Occupational Therapy (Graduate Entry)
Program Overview
Designed for students who have already completed a bachelor’s degree and meet entry requirements, this intensive master’s degree will qualify you to practise as a registered occupational therapist with two extra years of study.
Occupational therapists empower people to live full and rewarding lives. They help people of all ages achieve their goals, optimise their lifestyles and actively participate in society irrespective of limitations.
At UniSA, you’ll learn from registered occupational therapists and accomplished researchers at the top of their field. With a strong focus on practical skills, you’ll complete 1,000 hours of field placements across health, rehabilitation and community agencies, children’s centres, kindergartens, schools and aged care facilities. This prepares you for professional practice and a seamless transition from study to work.
What you'll learn
In the Master of Occupational Therapy (Graduate Entry), you’ll study the major theoretical approaches and practical skills occupational therapists use to work across all types of clients.
In the first year, you’ll focus on foundational occupational therapy knowledge and skills in the areas of:
- Occupational science
- Environmental modification and occupational adaptation
- Evidence-based practice
- Human neuroscience
- Professional competencies through simulated and part-time field work
In the second year, you’ll apply your knowledge to areas of practice such as mental health, chronic conditions and community, rehabilitation and return to work. As part of this, you’ll work on a collaborative project with a community agency.
You’ll get hands-on experience in real scenarios when you complete 1,000 hours of field placements. Emphasis is placed on preparing you to become a contemporary health professional, so with industry placements built-in to your degree, you’ll get to work on building your professional relationships and networks while you study.
