The Master's programme Occupational Therapy is a part-time, web-based distance learning programme, taught completely online. The master's programme in Occupational Therapy is a part-time, web-based, two-year master's programme (120 credits). It is taught at a 50 percent rate of study, i.e. the two-year programme takes four years to complete. Since the programme is web-based there are no scheduled lectures on campus.
