Overview

Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours)

It's easy to take our daily activities for granted, like brushing our teeth, going to work or getting out of bed. 

Workplace injuries, chronic illness, disability and mental health issues can change our ability to do these things independently, impacting our quality of life. 

As an Occupational Therapist, you'll develop skills to help people maximise their abilities and reach their full potential. 

La Trobe's Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours) provides you with the clinical knowledge, professional skills and industry connections needed to launch your career.

A combination of tutorials, workshops, practical experience, online learning and 1000 hours of professional placements will enable you to use evidence-based occupational therapy assessments and interventions with people of all ages that improve their health and well-being.

You'll learn the following:

  • Anatomy Fundamentals
  • Special needs practice
  • Therapy for every stage of life
  • Mental health occupational therapy
