Occupational Therapy

The Erasmus Study of Occupational Therapy offers traineeships in two different domains, combined with several optional courses. Practical skills will be trained in clinical departments, applying the theoretical knowledge from an evidence-based framework. You can also train your research skills, language skills, or technological knowledge by choosing one of the study courses.

You can choose from the following courses

  • Traineeship 1 (12 ECTS) - both semesters



    In this traineeship, your occupational therapy skills will be trained in a ‘safe’ environment within clinical departments (9 weeks of practice). You will actively participate, observe, and prepare occupational therapy sessions with patients in different settings, guided and supervised by your traineeship coach.

    At the same time, you learn methodological abilities by writing and investigating your clients, their pathology, and occupational problems.

    An important focus of our approach is applying the occupational therapy knowledge, using an Evidenced Based Framework.

    Possible traineeship placements can be offered in clinical departments of physic rehabilitation, neurology, or psychiatry. Other possibilities are traineeships in elderly care or day centres for patients with non-congenital brain injuries.
