For school leavers the options are to do a year 13 to improve their SACE score, or to get into a course at university and then apply for a tertiary transfer the next year. For tertiary transfer students the aim is to do another year of study and achieve a much higher grade point average. Tertiary transfer students can come from any university course, no matter how unrelated it may be to occupational therapy. The information given below about credit may be helpful in choosing a course to study. If you have completed the same or similar course at another university as one in the course schedule you can apply for credit.
Credit is granted at the discretion of the course director.
To obtain credit see the program director at enrolment or early in the semester, or go to Campus Central. At the end of 1999 there were not large numbers of jobs in Adelaide. However, there is still a National shortage of occupational therapists and government projections see occupational therapists continuing to be in high demand. There are larger numbers of jobs in country areas, and also in areas related to occupational therapy. The program is accredited by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists.
