College of Occupational Therapy (Karachi Campus)

At Ziauddin College of Occupational Therapy (ZCOT), our philosophy is rooted in the belief that occupational therapy plays a pivotal role in promoting health, well-being, and quality of life for individuals and communities. We are dedicated to preparing future occupational therapists who are not only skilled practitioners but also compassionate, ethical, and innovative leaders in the healthcare sector. Our approach combines a student-centered environment, cutting-edge resources, and a strong commitment to global competency standards to cultivate professionals capable of addressing the complex and diverse needs of today’s society.

The five-year undergraduate program Doctor of Occupational Therapy at ZCOT is the only affiliated programme of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists in Asia. Our programme emphasises a holistic, client-centered approach  for practicing as we understand that well-being is multifaceted—spanning physical, emotional, cognitive, and social dimensions—and our graduates are equipped to provide comprehensive care that addresses these diverse needs through evidence-based practices and interprofessional collaboration.
