HLB002 International Study Experience

Following an approved Outward Bound Mobility activity, this unit provides an opportunity for students to further develop knowledge and skills for working in a globalised context through exploration and analysis. Health professionals, including biomedical scientists, are faced with rapidly changing challenges that require an understanding of global trends and issues that influence practice and healthcare provision in their discipline. This unit advances students' knowledge and skills regarding health practice in global contexts through analysis of an international study experience undertaken during the course and examination of health-related issues or challenges in comparison with the United Nations World Health Organisation's (WHO) Sustainable Development Goals. Learning activities offer an international 'lens' through which students reflect on experiences enabling the opportunity to broaden and deepen a repertoire of skills for working in local and/or global contexts.
