Master of Occupational Therapy Practice
The Master of Occupational Therapy Practice course is a two year, accelerated learning program that will enable students with a completed Bachelor degree, to obtain a professional, entry level qualification at a postgraduate level of study, to practice as an Occupational Therapist. It is an integrated curriculum centered on Scenario-Based Learning (SBL). It is offered at the Peninsula campus of Monash University.
