Course Description

This work-based placement elective offers a professional placement with a government/public, industrial, civic or voluntary health and/or development sector organisation. You will undertake a ten-week placement with your host organisation, either within the organisation, remotely from Aberdeen, or using a combination of both. Placements are subject to availability and may be offered on a competitive basis.

We reserve the right to remove a student from placement should an employer report any inappropriate behaviour or unacceptable work. Should this happen, University-based remedial training supervised by course staff will be offered as an alternative activity and assessments will remain in place but will be capped at D3.

 

The aims of this course are to:

 

  • enhance student experience;
  • enhance student employability;
  • enable students to acquire professional knowledge and understanding of the daily work, strategic priorities, objectives and functions of a health and/or development sector organisation;
  • facilitate student application of academic skills in a work environment; and
  • provide students with opportunities to strategically develop a range of transferable skills, as well as our Graduate Attributes.
