Occupational Therapy FH Salzburg (Salzburg University of Applied Sciences)

Living your life independently is central to Occupational Therapy. Whether due to illness, injury, or disability – people are often no longer able to carry out daily activities on their own. As an occupational therapist, you help these people to live independently again. With only 20 places every three years, our Bachelor's degree in Occupational Therapy at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences offers a particularly individual training program in this valuable area of knowledge.

In order to work as an occupational therapist in either your own practice or in a hospital, you need a legal professional qualification according to Austria's MTD-Gesetz. You will become professionally qualified as part of your six-semester Occupational Therapy Bachelor's degree at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences.

During your course, you will gain the methodical and strategical scientific skills to help people of all ages on their journey back to independent living. The occupational therapeutic process, which runs through the entire course of studies as a training topic, is focused on the pillars of self-sufficiency, productivity, and leisure activities.

In addition to providing professional skills, social and communicative skills are also two of the main focuses of your Occupational Therapy degree.
