The practical training period takes place over twelve weeks and starts with a week’s preparation as part of the programme. During the practical training weeks, the students spend 30 hours at the practical training establishment and the rest on teaching activities in the programme. The students will be assigned a supervisor at the practical training establishment and a contact lecturer at the university. Students who apply to take their practical training as part of a project can have a supervisor with a background other than in occupational therapy. In such case, the contact lecturer will offer closer follow up.

The following must be approved:

• cooperation agreement with specification of the learning outcomes

An attendance requirement also applies, see ‘assessment of practical training’ in the programme description's main part for more information.

The midway and final assessments are made by the practical training supervisor and the contact lecturer at the university. The final decision on whether to award a pass or fail grade is made by the university.
