Programme structure
The European Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (OT-EuroMaster) is a postgraduate 2-year, part time, research-oriented programme of 90 EC consisting of six modules. Each of the first five modules is hosted by a different European higher education institution.
You will be part of a small group of students (ca. 20-30) from at least six countries. You will share and compare experiences, strengthen your professional identity and enhance your cultural understanding.
All 6 modules of the programme are mandatory. The first five modules (12 EC each) are hosted by one of the partner institutions. The last module involves the completion of a semi-independent scientific research project in the field of occupational therapy or occupational science, resulting in the thesis.
Modules 1 to 4 take place in the first academic year and all have the same structure:
-
Two weeks of selfstudy time at home with preparatory work tasks
-
Two weeks of highly intensive classwork on site at one of the partner universities
-
Eight weeks of self study time working on the module assignment
In module 5, you will spend 1 week at one of the partner universities and module 6 takes place entirely in your home country. In all the modules, some online sessions will be planned during self study time in order to support you in your learning process.
Modules
The programme aims to enhance understanding of the complexities of occupation, foster intercultural understanding and increase the research capacity of the profession. Occupational Therapy, Occupational Science and research are integrated within each module. Every module ends with an assignment. In the final two modules, you plan and conduct a research project and write your thesis in the format of a journal paper with a critical reflection.
