Occupational therapists change the world - especially for people who are affected by accidents and illness and can no longer manage their lives independently. The aim of occupational therapy is to help people to be as independent as possible at work, school and in their leisure time. It is therefore about activities from all areas of life that are important to us, that make up our everyday lives and give our lives meaning. At the same time, they help people to act in a health-promoting way.
This is what awaits you on the programme:
- Understanding people
- Learning and analysing new activities
- Understanding the therapeutic process
- Apply therapeutic methods
- Reflecting on and justifying the therapeutic approach
- Learning communication rules
Taking into account the individual steps in the occupational therapy process, the theoretical studies are supplemented by a clear focus on practical skills in the context of skills training and simulated case scenarios. The programme is rounded off by an examination of typical activities in the various areas of life. From the 1st semester onwards, students put their knowledge into practice in work placements.
