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. Students intending to enrol in the unit should consult with the Unit Convenor by 15 March (for D2) or 15 August (for V2) or 15 December (for D1).
