Teaching and learning strategies

This subject provides an immersive, practical learning experience in a host organisation in an international location.

During the in-country program, students will participate in a program with the host organisation designed to give them practical work and problem-solving experience. Students will also collaboratively and individually reflect on their own and other students’ experiences and learning in workshops after returning to Sydney.

Minimum requirements

Students must actively participate in all activities of the in-country host institution program. Attendance at the pre-departure and presentation seminars is essential. Seminar attendance and the field trip are compulsory.
