Occupational Therapy is the science dealing with the recovery and rehabilitation of those people suffering from any kind of physical, psychic or social disability. Occupational therapists works with patients in a global way; so as to speak, they study and analyze the illness itself and its effects on daily life, so that patients can have as a normal life as possible, whether autonomously or with the help of supports or adaptations. That’s why, Occupation Therapy is a dynamic and creative profession, and those characteristics make it one of degrees offering greatest job opportunities in Spain.
The UAX university boasts labs and workshops, one-off all over the country, and has reached work agreements with a large number of leading centres and companies.
