HLTH300: Health Placement
This unit provides an off campus, work-integrated learning experience in a health related field for students in an advanced stage of study for a Bachelor of Health degree or Psychology-Health double degree. Placements may be undertaken in a range of areas (such as health policy, planning, promotion, research, service development, advocacy and/or education) and across a range of sectors (such as government, non-profit, community based, industry and professional organisations). Students complete a self-contained project during their placement such as researching and writing a report on a specific issue. As far as possible, placements are arranged in accordance with each student's background, skills, experience, professional/academic interests and career aspirations. Students must complete approximately 20 days on work placement plus attend three one-day workshops on campus.
