AUT's occupational therapy degree is intensive and involves learning in an interprofessional environment ? in the classroom and in the field. Applying the latest research and innovative approaches, you will gain critical knowledge of people, their occupations and the environments in which they live, learn or work to enable people to participate and engage in occupations that may be restricted to them. AUT occupational therapy graduates are eligible to apply to register as an occupational therapist in New Zealand and other countries.
