University of Sydney’s Master of Occupational Therapy Overview

The Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) at University of Sydney in Australia prepares graduates for clinical practice in the profession of occupational therapy.

Occupational therapists work with their clients to overcome barriers that may be preventing them from participating more fully in life. This might involve teaching alternative techniques to achieve a given task, or facilitating improvement of skills. Occupational therapists collaborate with family and careers where needed, and typically work in teams with other health professionals.

If University of Sydney’s Occupational Therapy students already have a background in health, choice of electives is an option, while those without such experience will be required to take prescribed electives.
