Content
This unit provides students with the opportunity to learn about the context of promoting and supporting health from an international perspective. The unit will be conducted in the form of an internationally based project to provide students with the opportunity to enhance their applied understanding of cross-cultural and inter-cultural health and society. The project will be an authentic and real-world project situated within an international organisation, undertaken either overseas in-country or virtually from students' home location. Projects will provide students with the opportunity to apply a range of public health and health sciences-related knowledges and skills to real-world situations, engage with international organisations and communities, and reflect on their own values and approaches in relation to health and social development.
