Fully prepare yourself for the role, build on your academic skills and develop clinical competence to practice as a newly graduated occupational therapist. Focus on professional values, understand the meaning and importance of occupation in our lives, and appreciate the power of occupation to transform lives. Develop your capabilities in key skills such as problem solving, professional reasoning, research, critical thinking and leadership.Explore the profession across a broad range of practice, experiencing a variety of clinical placements.

Gain an understanding of the relationship between occupation, health and wellbeing. The nature of occupational performance, participation and analysis is central to your learning. Following practice placement, you learn about the impact that occupational disruption can have, and the ways it can be prevented or minimised. Your learning is supported by input from practice colleagues and service users.In year two, you join colleagues from other allied health professions and complete modules that help you understand the professional constructs around the scope and viability of occupational therapy. Develop professional and leadership skills and learn about service improvement to equip you for an ever-changing workplace.
