Professional background

The European MSc in Occupational Therapy is primarily for qualified Occupational Therapists who wish to continue their academic and professional development. The programme does not provide a professional qualification or licence to practise as an Occupational Therapist.

If you are not an Occupational Therapist, you may still apply by submitting:

• An extensive portfolio, and
• A letter of motivation

These documents must demonstrate that you have sufficient knowledge of Occupational Therapy and/or Occupational Science and that you meet the required entrance competences.

You can find the entrance competences in the How to apply guide(opens in new window). 

English

If English is your native language, or if you have completed your secondary school or Bachelor’s degree in English, you may not need to take an English test.
