Programme Aims & Learning Outcomes

This programme aims to generate graduates who are forward-looking and competent occupational therapists and can promote the health and well-being of people in Hong Kong.

A combination of medical, physical, neurological, psychological, and social subjects prepares students to enhance the functional performance of community-dwelling people with disabilities in terms of self-care, leisure, and work. Students learn how to maximize occupational performance, promote health, and improve life meaningfulness and quality of life of clients and their families and caregivers.

The programme prepares students to deliver occupation-based and client-centred occupational therapy with a commitment to promoting equal opportunities for all members of the community. It also prepares students for helping careers in which they empower clients to manage their disabilities, educate the public about healthy and meaningful living and pass on their professional knowledge to new generations of therapists.
