BA/BS in Occupational therapy

Spanning four years and 240 credits, with sixty credits given to clinical practice, the programme trains students to analyse a person's physical and social environment in order to restore, maintain, or compensate for impaired abilities through directed activity. Core subjects include occupational therapy history and theory, person-occupation-environment relationships, rehabilitation measures, motor control development, and assessment methods, alongside occupational therapy for adults, children, and older people, vocational rehabilitation, ergonomics, and compensatory and universal-environment measures. Biomedical, social science, and humanities subjects such as functional anatomy, health policy, and medical ethics support the clinical content, and students also study research fundamentals to apply evidence-based findings in practice. Assessment relies mainly on examinations graded on a ten-point scale, supplemented by surveys, case studies, and reports, and graduates are prepared to plan and evaluate occupational therapy programmes in clinical or community settings.
