Education & Research
Education Department of occupational therapy trains qualified occupational therapists to work in a variety of settings including health organizations, social care services schools, housing, education, re-employment schemes, occupational health, prisons, voluntary organizations or as independent practitioners. Our faculty members are connected with clinicians, researchers, and policy makers, nationally. Our undergraduate student numbers are low (approximately 30 students in every year) so that each student gets an individual attention and training especially during the placement practice. Number of postgraduate students is even lower to allow a person to person training. In our research projects, our faculties and postgraduate students pursue national needs and have developed national and international collaborations with their colleagues at other universities and research centers. Our graduates work in a variety of settings including governmental, non-governmental and privates (NGOs). They have opportunity to join the postgraduate programs on various fields including rehabilitation management, occupational therapy and/or neuroscience in both M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels.

Our department has an internationally recognized research program in different areas such as mental health illnesses, physical or learning disabilities, stroke, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, amputations, cerebral palsy, Autism, ADHD and learning disorders.
