For the fifth consecutive year, students in the DSU Department of Occupational Therapy have attained a 100 percent pass rate in the National Occupational Therapy Examinations. Dongseo University is the only university in the Busan, Ulsan, and South Gyeongsang Province region to have reached this achievement.

The continued outstanding success can be attributed to the fact that the DSU Department of Occupational Therapy offers various specialized teaching programs throughout the semester and vacation teaching sessions, with a stress on ensuring every student is fully involved in their studies.
In particular, students are provided the opportunity to devise self-study programs and to build mutual support by forming study groups.

In addition, as a result of its eight years of internationally-acknowledged high levels of education from 2011, in August 2018 the DSU Department of Occupational Therapy was certified by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists for the first time.

This means that the departments curriculum is now recognized by 73 countries around the world.

In particular, the department has concluded practical training agreements with more than 20 hospitals and medical training institutions, including Seoul National University Hospital, Yonsei University Hospital, Hanyang University Hospital, and Pusan National University Hospital.

Moreover, it has implemented the highest level of clinical training in Korea by requiring more than 1000 hours of practical training of each student, with a stress on students independently solving real-life medical problems and situations.
