Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science

My Department does not produce projections of enrolment on an individual course basis, and therefore the number of occupational therapists expected to graduate this year is not available. Graduate numbers for 2020, the latest year available, are below and numbers for this year would be expected to be similar. These figures are as reported on the HEA's student records system (SRS).

Institution	Degree Level	Field	Graduates
University of Limerick	Taught Masters	Occupational Therapy	29
NUI Galway	Honours Degree	Occupational Therapy	27
Trinity College Dublin	Honours Degree	Occupational Therapy	45
University College Cork	Honours Degree	Occupational Therapy	25
