What makes B.Sc OT different from the OT diploma?

The diploma trains you to work as an OT technician in two years. The B.Sc. goes deeper into anaesthesia technology, surgical specialities, critical care and OT management, and it adds a full internship year. The degree also makes you eligible for a master’s (M.Sc.) and for posts that ask for a graduate qualification. If you want the shortest route to a job, see our OT technician diploma guide.
