Bachelor of Science With Honours in Occupational Therapy

The Bachelor of Science with Honours in Occupational Therapy is a four-year, direct honours programme designed to provide an excellent educational experience in the theory and practice of occupational therapy.

Occupational therapy involves assessments and interventions to work or school, self-care, leisure or play, physical environments as well as cognitive, mental and physical components of function to enable individuals affected by physical injury or illness, developmental or learning disabilities, psychosocial dysfunctions or the ageing process, to engage in everyday life occupations in order to maximise the independent performance of life roles, prevent disability and maintain health.
