Bond University’s Master of Occupational Therapy program is designed to produce highly competitive graduates with comprehensive clinical skills as well as possessing a solid business acumen and research experience.

It is the first Occupational Therapy Masters in Australia to offer students the opportunity to complete a clinical research project or undertake business electives in preparation for a career in private practice. You will engage in research training before specializing in one of two elective pathways:

• Clinically-focused Research Pathway – the clinically focused research pathway culminates in an individual research project that may be eligible for publication. This pathway prepares you for entry into higher research degrees and careers in research and academia, as well as bolstering research networks; or
• Business-focused Research Pathway – enables you to undertake business electives that will enable you to undertake management roles, and better prepare you to work in the growing private sector. The pathway culminates in an industry research project where you will apply both research and business skills.

You will be taught by academics and industry staff who are current practising clinicians with up to date industry knowledge.

Applicants must have a bachelor degree in a health or human science related discipline.  Minimum GPA is 60%, but it will run higher.

Students will be required to show evidence of studies in the following:

• 1 semester of Human Anatomy
• 1 semester of Human Physiology
• 2 semesters of Behavioural Science (Psychology or Sociology)

If such evidence is not available, applicants may need to undertake prerequisite bridging units before commencing the program.
