Whether it’s empowering someone to build their independence after a major life event, supporting a child in reaching their potential at school, or enabling adults to sustain their dignity and autonomy as they age, your work will have a meaningful impact. From everyday tasks like dressing and eating, to supporting individuals to work, socialise and pursue their passions, occupational therapists transform lives. Adelaide University’s Master of Occupational Therapy degree takes a holistic approach to health, considering the physical, emotional and social aspects of wellbeing. You’ll explore the science of the body, developing expertise in human neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and pathology. You’ll identify and understand how our environment impacts occupational performance and learn to design unique interventions based on individual needs. |
