Real world experience

We believe the best way to learn is by doing. That’s why our programmes include placements and/or work-based learning opportunities with key providers of services to support individual and community health and wellbeing. These experiences help you build confidence, apply your knowledge in real settings, and develop the skills employers are looking for.

Our strong industry partnerships also support a thriving Continuing Professional Development (CPD) offer, so you’ll be part of a school that’s deeply connected to both the real world and professional practice.

We also take our programmes out to partner organisations in Hong Kong and Singapore, via our ‘flying faculty’.
