Course overview
This course aims to provide students with the opportunity to combine workplace/research experience with academic study in their major area. Building on foundational knowledge introduced in the first two years of study in their majors, the course requires students to complete an experiential placement or research project placement where research project involves research experience in a range of settings within the University and affiliate institutions; and experiential placement involves workplace experience in a range of government and non-government industry settings. By gaining experience in a workplace or a research environment, students will apply their problem solving, ethical, teamwork, communication and critical reflection skills to allow them to develop in-demand transferable skills. This course aligns with the Bachelor of Biomedical and Health Science program's intent to increase work-readiness.
