“I was inspired to undertake the Master of Occupational Therapy Studies at UQ after I volunteered at a senior care facility for over three years and was really fascinated with the work that occupational therapists do to enable residents to fulfil their lives. The hands on component of the program was a highlight for me as it really supported me towards becoming an occupational therapist. After working for a few years I plan to continue my study and complete a PhD degree and maybe eventually become an academic.”

“I chose to study at the University of Queensland because it has one of the best physiotherapy programs in the world. I knew I wanted a different experience compared to my undergrad; I wanted to attend a world renowned institution while having the opportunity to immerse myself in a different culture and meet new people. After speaking to a few UQ trained physiotherapists back in Canada, all of them said that attending UQ was one of the best decisions that they could have ever made for themselves. That was a major element that stood out for me, and made my decision to attend UQ much easier.”
