Our leadership and expertise are sought after both nationally and internationally. We produce competent generalist occupational therapists who render effective and appropriate service to a wide variety of occupationally dysfunctional people. Our student body is actively involved in the development and implementation of their education program. Our alumni are confident, enthusiastic and independent thinkers, active in the development of occupational therapy and rehabilitation and are committed to professional development throughout their careers. Their services are eagerly sought by employers and clients.
Training encompasses all levels of health care.
We have pioneered a successful problem based and self directed learning curriculum for Occupational Therapy in South Africa, which is based on human occupation. Our unique approach equips our students to handle diverse and ongoing challenges. The funded academic support and financial assistance programs allow for the smooth transition from the school system to the higher education demands of this department. The program is modular, highly flexible and allows laddering at all levels of undergraduate training. Distance learning is made possible by the most up to date communication technology.
