Hi, my name is Rebecca Rollings. I’m from Canada and I studied Master of Occupational Therapy Studies at The University of Queensland.
Why did you choose to study in Australia and specifically at UQ?
UQ has a positive reputation and from online research, the campus and student testimonials provided a strong insight into the program and its esteemed reputation. Brisbane is also a beautiful city, with plenty of opportunities for adventures.
Why did you choose your program and what have been the best things about your program at UQ?
I chose to study the Master of Occupational Therapy Studies to gain practical experience and an internationally recognised accreditation in occupational therapy, with which I’ll be able to help provide insight and support for clients.
The program structure and class sizes have been fantastic for my personal learning. I enjoy the tightness of the student group, and the professors have amazing insight and abilities for educating within the program as well.
What advice would you give people from other countries about studying at UQ?
Be open to all experiences that come from practicing OT. The program and field in general is very broad and can lead to various avenues of practice. An area that you may not have considered before could be an area that you plan to practice in.
