Field Education Placements
A key objective of Deakin University’s Bachelor of Public Health and Health Promotion degree is to enable students to develop a working understanding of health promotion. To help achieve this goal, students are required to complete a minimum of 100-120 hours field experience in a suitable organisation.
The work placements provide students and host organisations with many valuable opportunities. For students, work placements give them a more in-depth, practical understanding of health promotion principles and strategies. For host organisations, students have played meaningful roles in a variety of activities including, planning programs and events, undertaking needs assessments, developing evaluation tools, completing literature reviews and producing promotional material.
Typically the practicum experience is a 'win win' situation for both student and agency.
