The Master of Science program in Occupational Therapy (MSc(OT)) is a full-time two year course-based Master’s degree. Our goal is to prepare occupational therapists who will possess the requisite knowledge, skills, and professional behaviours to practice as entry-level practitioners in a complete range of institutional and community settings in either urban or rural locations throughout Canada or the international community. Graduates will be prepared to function as independent practitioners, as members of interdisciplinary teams, as critical consumers of research, as agents of change, as leaders in their profession, and as lifelong self-directed learners.

Occupational Therapy is a profession that uses the art and science of occupation to optimize people’s occupational performance and engagement in the areas of self-care, productivity, and leisure. Occupational therapists work with people of all ages to enable occupation and to promote, maintain, or restore occupational health and well-being

The conceptual framework of education espoused by the MSc (OT) Program is based on adult learning theory and principles of self-directed, problem-based learning. Imbedded in this framework is an educational philosophy of lifelong learning that faculty and students alike believe in and value. Learn More…
